This is a silent installer for DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer

You can download it from: DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer

Attention: When starting this Installer with WPKG it downloads the latest DirectX files out of the Internet. That means when you have many Computers in your business you have a lot of traffic. :)

This package is written for Updates till November 2007. When Microsoft release a new Update you have to change the <check ...> line.

When installing this package it can occur an error. Then you have to enable the "SHOW GUI".

	<package
		id="Microsoft - DirectX 9"
		name="Microsoft - Directx 9.0"
		revision="9211148"
		priority="10">

		<check type="file" condition="versiongreaterorequal" path="%WINDIR%\system32\x3daudio1_2.dll" value="9.21.1148.0"/>

		<install cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\Microsoft\DirectX\9.0c\DXwebSetup.exe" /c:"DXwSetup.exe /windowsupdate" /q /r:n' >
			<exit code="0" />
			<exit code="3010" reboot="true" />
		</install>

		<upgrade cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\Microsoft\DirectX\9.0c\DXwebSetup.exe" /c:"DXwSetup.exe /windowsupdate" /q /r:n' >
			<exit code="0" />
			<exit code="3010" reboot="true" />
		</upgrade>
	</package>

When you want to prevent that the package is causing a lot of traffic you can use something like this. But here you have to download the latest DirectX by yourself.

For example this one here: DirectX End-User Runtimes (November 2007)

	<package
		id="Microsoft - DirectX 9"
		name="Microsoft - Directx 9.0"
		revision="9211148"
		priority="10">

		<check type="file" condition="versiongreaterorequal" path="%WINDIR%\system32\x3daudio1_2.dll" value="9.21.1148.0"/>

		<install cmd='%COMSPEC% /c rmdir /c /q "%TEMP%\directx"' />
		<install cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\Microsoft\DirectX\9.0c\directx_nov2007_redist.exe" /q /c /T:"%TEMP%\directx"' >
			<exit code="0" />
			<exit code="3010" />
		</install>
		<install cmd='"%TEMP%\directx\DXSETUP.exe" /silent' >
			<exit code="0" />
			<exit code="3010" reboot="true" />
		</install>
		<install cmd='%COMSPEC% /c rmdir /c /q "%TEMP%\directx"' />


		<upgrade cmd='%COMSPEC% /c rmdir /c /q "%TEMP%\directx"' />
		<upgrade cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\Microsoft\DirectX\9.0c\directx_nov2007_redist.exe" /q /c /T:"%TEMP%\directx"' >
			<exit code="0" />
			<exit code="3010" />
		</upgrade>
		<upgrade cmd='"%TEMP%\directx\DXSETUP.exe" /silent' >
			<exit code="0" />
			<exit code="3010" reboot="true" />
		</upgrade>
		<upgrade cmd='%COMSPEC% /c rmdir /c /q "%TEMP%\directx"' />
	</package>
