ricktendo Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) Microsoft DirectX end-user Redistributable (June 2010) Version: 9.29.1974 Supported operating systems: Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2012/2008+R2/2003 SP1+, Windows XP SP2+ Website: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109 Quote Q: Why repack the DirectX redistributable installer you ask? A: Because the original is only a self extracting CAB archive, this (re)package will initiate the install wizard (dxsetup.exe) after extraction and it also properly accepts the /q switch for "silent" installation. x86/x64: removed MD5: 2ef61d694dbcb3b3d0f47f1bbc0ca831 Size: 90.7 MB x86: removed MD5: 0f51f57cff0bf51aa368f90da1c8b525 Size: 42.8 Edited July 17, 2018 by ricktendo Cango, WasHere, widow2 and 3 others 6 Quote
Adrian Luca Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Please make lite repack on last DirectiX icluded x86-64 files and Managed Quote
RicaNeaga Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 @Adrian Luca Salut! You can find what you want inside the cabs from here, except the managed directx, needed from what I remember only for xp, it was replaced by XNA for game devs. @ ricktendo Is there any reason to prefer to install the ''official'' (repacked) build instead of the lite yumeyao version? Thanks. Quote
mooms Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 You can also use DXCB to create lite installers/addons. Works also for Win8. Quote
bluesmoke Posted May 26, 2013 Posted May 26, 2013 Hi i need Direct X can i use this as Addon on my Windows 8 by using Wintoolkit Quote
ricktendo Posted May 26, 2013 Author Posted May 26, 2013 Not really a addon, just a repack of the installer that will allow you to use -q to make silent The original directx installer only extracted to a subdir Quote
bluesmoke Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 so its just copy the Direct setup to hardisk and then user will install it manuly... plz help me i need a silent or addon for Direct X so i integrate into setup ... Quote
Kelsenellenelvian Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 This is also dx9 it will not be needed for windows 8 Quote
ricktendo Posted May 27, 2013 Author Posted May 27, 2013 This is also dx9 it will not be needed for windows 8This is not completely acurate, these install the directx "runtimes". These are needed for desktop games on Windows 8 It wont update the directx engine anymore, thats why this installer only works on Windows XP SP3 and above Read more about why XP SP0 is not supported and there is an addition talking about Windows 8 here Quote
PJAmerica Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 I get the dreaded "Not a valid Win32 application". I have downloaded this over and over again but it still won't work on my XP Machine. SP3 and updated. No issues with anyhting other than this. Any assistance would be appreciated. Quote
ricktendo Posted October 23, 2014 Author Posted October 23, 2014 Probably a failed dl, let me put it on mediafire Quote
PJAmerica Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Probably a failed dl, let me put it on mediafireThat's what I thought as well hence me downloading it multiple times and with different browsers even and no luck. Quote
PJAmerica Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 Still throwing the same error. MD5 hash verified as well. I don't know what's going on. Quote
PJAmerica Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 "Not a valid Win32 application" on Windows XP only. Works on Windows 7. Any reason why? Quote
ricktendo Posted March 2, 2015 Author Posted March 2, 2015 Maybe its the version of iexpress.exe I used made it this way Quote
ricktendo Posted March 3, 2015 Author Posted March 3, 2015 Updated, managed to reduce the size slightly by removing managed code and created a smaller x86 only installer I think the "Not a valid Win32 application" problem is solved as well Quote
Arkher Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Hello Rick, Please checkthe x86/x64 download link is still pointing to the old 95.6M Pack Quote
PJAmerica Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Updated, managed to reduce the size slightly by removing managed code and created a smaller x86 only installerI think the "Not a valid Win32 application" problem is solved as wellWorks on XP perfectly now. Shame you removed "managed code" though. Thanks for the fix though. Quote
ricktendo Posted March 4, 2015 Author Posted March 4, 2015 Managed Code from what I gather is only used by game developers I could redo the installer to re-add managed code, then do one without mc, then the x86 (if wanted) Quote
PJAmerica Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Managed Code from what I gather is only used by game developersI could redo the installer to re-add managed code, then do one without mc, then the x86 (if wanted)That would be great if you don't mind. Either way. I am thankful. I definitely would prefer it with managed code and I am sure there are others. Quote
seiferflo Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 It works like a charm on W8.1_x64, thanks a lot! Quote
PJAmerica Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Was one with Managed Code added in the first post? I can't tell. Quote
