End User Direct X Requirements

[kleptos]

Ok, I have been working on a few basic things in Managed DirectX. They work great on machines with the SDK. However, if i take my compiled exe that works great and move to a machine that only has the DirectX Runtimes (not the SDK). The program crashes. If i have to redistribute the application i made, i should need to have the end users install the SDK, that would be way too silly. Anyone know what i need for these exe's to run? Thanks for the help!

I remember seeing something about this, but not sure where. The only thing I can think of at the moment would be to check out the Windows Installer for Game Developers. Hopefully that'll have some options for Managed DirectX.

There's a redistributable file you'll need users to download. I think it's part of the SDK, but it's also available for separate download.
