Dx9 redist for ME
Hi,
I'm sure I typed DX9.0c rather than the 9.0x that appeared. g As for having to set up ICS on the VM host to allow the VM to access the internet is something I hadn't thought about being as I am spoilt by using a router to connect where all that is required is for the VM to share the host's NIC. Much easier all round. When you're next in funds you might want to think about getting yourself a router such as I think is sold by 3 that takes a dongle. -- Mike Noel Paton wrote: yes, Mike My VM here is 9.0b - v4.09.000.0902 I haven't got around to enabling ICS on the dongle yet, so my ME VM won't do updates (not that it matters too much) - or I've forgotten how to set up networking in the VM (which is all too possible!) glad to see that MS is keeping the v4 updates going, though1 |

Dx9 redist for ME
Now I'm confused! - not only does the Dec2006 update install OK - the Feb
2007 on (8MB smaller) installs over the top of that! Hmmm - checking dxdiag (which I should have done before!), the latest files there are still only from July 2004, so it looks as if later versions pretty much do a dummy install of the files Ah well - at least I have the latest ones in there now -- Noel Paton (MVP 2002-2006) (CrashFixPC) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.crashfixpc.co.uk "Noel Paton" wrote in message ... Hmmm - June 2006 will install with OR without .Net installed (over Dx9b - it requires a reboot either way) The latest version available before a significant drop in size of the installer looks to be Dec 2006 - so I'll try that one tomorrow Th-that's all, folks!

Dx9 redist for ME
DX9c (4.09.0000.0904) is the latest or rather last version prior to the
release of Vista and DX10 (6.00.6000.16386) and DX10 SP1? (6.00.6001.18000) that is part of Vista SP1. I'm not sure whether DX10 is available for download. What I think has happened is that MS have repackaged the installer perhaps to fix problems some users might have encountered. -- Mike Maltby Noel Paton wrote: Now I'm confused! - not only does the Dec2006 update install OK - the Feb 2007 on (8MB smaller) installs over the top of that!

(July) 2004 fits my earlier comments. The last official Dx 'update' via AU
being End User Runtime. Thus, the latest WinMe version certainly seems to be Dx9.0c. The 'further information' link from the AU history for the End User Runtime just takes you to blurb about Dx10 and Vista. Not very helpful g Mart "Noel Paton" wrote in message ...

Yes Mike, that makes more sense.

I've noticed the installer updates itself even though I only want LU to work
manually. -- I mastered Wordstar graphics! "Mike M" wrote: DX9c (4.09.0000.0904) is the latest or rather last version prior to the release of Vista and DX10 (6.00.6000.16386) and DX10 SP1?
