    DX9 will Kill DX10. Some games install it by default so be careful if you are using Vista or W7.

    No, not necessarily. I've done multiple game installs and uninstalls while first on Vista and now on Win7, and I've never run across anything like that. Methinks something is isffy with TechARP's test machine.

    Also, I feel I should point out that article is over a year old, and refers to old redist packages.

    Ditto on that. I specifically install DX9c on W7 installs because a lot of sofware won't run without it. On every machine so far, DX9c, DX10 and DX11 has run side by side happily. Also, I read a MS statement a while back that the last DX9c update they were issuing was August last year, did they backtrack on that an I just missed the memo?

    Ya, I noticed the article was a year old but there are a lot of complaints about ATI drivers and who knows what happens on another's machine.

    From MS:

    Supported Operating Systems: Windows 7; Windows Server 2003; Windows Server 2008; Windows Vista; Windows XP 64-bit; Windows XP Service Pack 3

    Additional Information


    * The DirectX redist installation includes all the latest and previous released DirectX runtime. This includes D3DX, XInput, and Managed DirectX components.
    * The DirectX runtime cannot be uninstalled. We recommend Windows Me and Windows XP users create a "System Restore" point before installing. For information on creating a restore point, please refer to the following Microsoft Knowledge Base articles:

    Windows XP: Microsoft Knowledge Base article 310405.
    * This update is recommended for users that do not have internet connection during installation

    * If you would like the websetup version of the runtime package, please click here.
    * Starting with Febraury 2007 SDK release - The redist no longer supports Win9x

    Hmm.. a little misleading then. Seems like theres no further updates to the DX9c runtimes but updates for DX10 runtimes in the same package. MS could clarify that better.
