Directx command line install

If your answer is "yes," you know what to do. Dive in and help somebody! If your answer is "no," welcome to our fun little world! We'd recommend that you first head over to the Script Center, get your feet wet, and then come back to either ask or answer questions.

If that doesn't work, you will probably need to ask in a more appropriate forum. As features are added or changed to the optional components, the names of the corresponding DLLs are also changed to ensure that no regressions are caused to existing games that are using released components. The DLLs for each component live side by side, and game developers can choose exactly which DLL version that the game uses by linking to the corresponding import library.

You can create smaller installation packages for DirectX by stripping the contents of the DirectX redistributable folder down to the minimal set of files required to make the installer work, and retaining any additional components that your game uses. Depending on your minimum specifications, you might not even need to include the core DirectX 9. The smallest package that can be created is about 3 MB, and it can be compressed to about half that size.

Add to these the cabinet files for the components that you want to install. If you require the users of your application to already have DirectX 9. Also, if you do not make use of DirectShow, or you assume that it is already installed, you can omit BDA.

You can assume that users of your application already have DirectX 9. However, if you have a bit application running on a bit OS, the bit versions of the DLLs will work. You can then distribute this package of files and launch DirectSetup in silent mode or run dxsetup.

Remember not to guard this package by any version checking of files, and make sure that your users cannot opt out of running the DirectX setup. Either of these events creates a fallible installation process. However, we strongly recommend that you do not simply copy the released run-time DLLs because it is easy to forget to remove them for the final product. Instead, put the DirectX setup files in a shared folder and run the setup silently from the shared folder.

Alternatively, you can remove all such dependencies— see Developer guide for redistributable version of XAudio 2. Skip to main content. This browser is no longer supported. But do not worry, you get everything, step by step. Launch Wine configuration. Once the main menu opens, click on the Libraries tab. This tab allows you to specify the behavior of different DLLs and override the possible defaults. The first step is to click on the New override dropdown box icon and expand the list.

Search for the d3d8 DLL. Once found, click Add. It will be added to the Existing overrides list like this: d3d8 builtin,native. This is not what we need. Therefore, you must select the DLL in the list and click Edit. Then, change the configuration to builtin only.

There's a very long list of DLLs and specifying them manually would be a torture. Luckily, you can hack the Wine registry directly and add the desired overrides as a list into the file, without going through the manual process of specifying each one using the GUI. To edit the registry, open the file in text editor e. You can find the entire list in this great article. Copy the entire selection, save the file and exit.

The next time you launch Wine configuration, the overrides will be loaded. Eventually, you'll see something like this:. These files may or may not be required, but it does not hurt to have them anyway. The two files in question are mscoree.

The first is a module containing. NET Framework functions, the second is a library used to install streaming hardware devices. You can copy these files from your Windows installations, if you have some, or download them from the web. A good online source that offers these file is DLL-files. In general, when you have to download DLLs or similar files from the web, it is always a good idea to stick to reputable sources, compare the file size and hash to those advertised by Microsoft and perhaps even upload the files to Jotti or VirusTotal for a perfunctory scan.

In this case, DLL-files gets a pretty decent score. Anyhow, back to our topic, download the two files and copy them to the Wine system32 folder. You need the redistributable package, because the installation won't handle the online installer well.
