A program I wrote requires DirectX 8, which since XP, I have not needed to include in my installer, because XP had DirectX 8 installed automatically.
On Vista, is there a version of DirectX installed by default? Thanks, Bob P.S. I tried installing the DirectX 8.a runtime (from dx80nteng.exe), but it won't install on Vista. Is this a feature? |

There's no need to install DirectX. DirectX 10 is part of Windows Vista. "Bob Eaton"

The DirectX 8 runtime doesn't support Vista (because of when it was made!). Since DirectX has to interface with the graphics and sound drivers, it has to know a lot about the internals of the OS. Vista includes DirectX 9.0L (which can run DirectX 8 programs) and DirectX 10 (which only runs DirectX 10 programs). Alun Harford |
