microsoft.directx.dll not found

DirectX.dll

I'm running VB.Net SP1 on XP. I've tried all these downloads, searched the CAB files, looked everywhere, and still can't find DirectX.dll.

When I clicked on Help in a project, it said something about running an installer which I cancelled, and the next time I clicked on Help it said something about searching for DirextX, even though this project had no links whatsoever to DirectX. I'm lost!

Does anyone have a step by step procedure for properly installing DirectX, and maybe even removing the version 7 and 8 ones that never worked anyway, I'd really really really appreciate it!

Thanks,
Larry
 
if you have a problem with missing Microsoft.DirectX.Dll's you need to download the following installers ..

DirectX 9.0 Complete Software Development Kit (SDK)
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=124552FF-8363-47FD-8F3B-36C226E04C85&displaylang=en

and (c'est tres tres importante)

DirectX 9.0b Software Development Kit (SDK) for C#
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=592393a7-c677-4023-8b27-94e61141e9c6&displaylang=en

run dxdevrtm.exe, then DLLs will be properly installed .. yey ..

microsoft.directx.dll missing

FYI, I was having similar problems getting DirectX 9 to work in .NET.

I finally discovered the dll's are located in the Directx.Cab file in the dx9sdk zipped file.

The easiest way is to extract the DirectX.cab file using WinZip to a c:\Temp folder, and then copy the dlls into the PublicAssemblies folder of you current .net version.

For instance on my computer it would be
c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .Net 2003\Common7\IDE\PublicAssemblies

Hope this helps.

If you install the new DirectX 9.0b Summer 2003 Update, it integrates to vs.net 2003 perfectly fine. The documentation, the managed dll's, everythign installs great. I have tested this on Win2000, WinXP and Win2003 Server.
 
Hi,

Is anyone still having problems with this...
I have just tried to use a dx9 sample and get this error (after finding the stupid .dll file)

An unhandled exception of type 'System.IO.FileNotFoundException' occurred in WindowsApplication2.exe

Additional information: File or assembly name Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D, or one of its dependencies, was not found.

Is it a microsoft thing? ...or is it cos im ill :(
