Odd coulda sworn the 10th month is October not November....Ahhh oh well!

Been waiting for this thx for the link.

 

:bigsmile::bigsmile::bigsmile:

 

thanks for the news.

 

Thankyou Sir! :thumbup:

 

Anyone knows if this changes anything? Maybe not, its just the same files and same features again with different month in the package name...

Edit:
OK, maybe I was wrong, it actually might have changed something. This was the FIRST time EVER DirectX setup forced me to restart my computer...

 

Cheers for the link!

 

Of course it changed something. They don't make you re-download the same stuff over and over again. DirectX downloads are mainly for graphics cards to be compatible with certain game features from what I know.

 

WHATS NEW in this

 

or maybe they made it more slow to force you to run vista and dx10

 

Good stuff. Cheers.

EDIT: Not sure what the deal is here but I had the August update installed and when I went to install this one I got a message stating that I already had the latest version....?

 

It just updated some SDK files for me.

 

Well you could always download the November redistributable,

and the previous one,

extract both and see what's new.

 

I DINT have to restart why ??


were do i find out whats version i have

 

Run DXDiag you should find the latest files in there under "DirectX Files"

 

That tab isn't there any more in Vista.

 

soi how can i see what u have

 

That's funny.. I just installed the update, came to 5.2 mb, but no restart after?

 

Think it all depends on which bits get updated whether a restart is needed or not. Oh and I had the same 5.2mb download. From looking in my System32 folder it looks like these,



were the files added/updated.

 

Doesn't have to restart.
