Hi Tom,
As an opinion, I would pick choice 3. Most computer gameCD usually come with
the proper direct X required to run it.
If 3 isn't possible then I would go for choice number 2, for the sake of
those who do not have the faster speeds.

Subject: [Audyssey] Installing DirectX Updates
Hello gamers,
I've noticed over the passed three or four days several of you have had
difficulties getting Microsoft DirectX installed. Most of it is confusion
over how the setup asks you to unpack files to the temp directory and than
manually run dxsetup.exe after the files are unzipped. With this mind I
want to switch to an installlation that is easier and more intuative for
you gamers in the future. I'm wondering wich of the following you want me
to try.
1. Instead of having gamers download and install the full runtime i can
use the Microsoft web setup tool which will detect which DirectX
components need upgraded or installed and will do this live from the
internet. The good news is it is very easy to use, not confusing, but you
should have a high speed internet connection to use it.
2. I can repack the installer with winzip self-extractor and force it to
run dxsetup.exe, and that might resolved the problem with the temp
directory.
3. Perhaps rather than either method I should just pack the Managed
DirectX components in the MOTA installer and forget about the rest. I'm
not sure if there are any compatibility issues with doing this, but I do
know the Microsoft license agreement frowns on doing this. On the good
side though is you'll get the files with install.
Any thoughts, suggestions, or comments?
Thanks.
