MicroSoftWindows DirectX Releases

OldVersion.com provides free. software downloads for old versions of programs, drivers and games. So why not downgrade to the version you love? Because newer is not always better! ©2000-2021 OldVersion.com. Supported Operating Systems: Windows 2000, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows XP. IMPORTANT DOWNLOAD INSTRUCTIONS - Download and save the file. Run the executable to unpack files. NOTES: The DirectX 9.0a runtime cannot be uninstalled. We recommend Windows Me and Windows XP users create a 'System Restore' point before installing.

*DirectX 9.0c update note :
MicroSoft iscontinually (rather than releasing a new version) implementingupdates into the DirectX 9.0c branch since 2005.
The Redistributables containlatest code to accomodate new Operating Systems and (supposedly)inputs from DirectX10 Development.
As these are already shipping e.g. with the latest Games, theyare considered safe for use. Technically, that makes it DirectX9.0d in many respects.
Various reports indicate performance increases accrossGames/Benchmarks and provision of needed compatibility withnewest Games.

Officially,Win98/Win98SE is not supported but this may not prevent anyone toexperiment (e.g. extract and manually implement updated .dll's).
Be warned though that this is entirely experimental and couldlead to erroneous Results...
WinME and Win2000 support shows in and out of the official SystemRequirements for some of the latest Updates but so faris working just fine.

AboveDirectX 9.0c Operating System requirements are likely not 100%correct, as conflicting information exists from different sources(e.g. Wikipedia).
If you see a Version correctly installing despite being listedhere as officially not supported (or vice versa), let me know...
