Hi Philip, that was a very good article, and straight to the point. I've encountered the same issues as you discuss, and at the moment that's why I host the full DirectX runtime on my website. Still I'd be very interested in your Inno Setup scripts so I can update XAudio2, X3D, etc in the background as I'm likely going to be using those components in the Genesis 3D engine myself in the not too distant future. Like you I'd rather not have to depend on people figuring out if they have the right versions of the libraries installed and just do it. In fact, I need to do this with the Visual C++ runtimes as well as I'm getting a bit tired of people not having them and e-mailing support for help when I could just bundle them in as a silent install.
Cheers!
