I think that's illegal, and it's a bad idea. Try finding the end-user redistribution package on Microsoft.com.

Im not sure of the legality of it, but it is part of the redist package, instead of including just that DLL, you should consider including a "web installer" for the DirectX redistribution package. Microsoft's dx web installer will check if dx is installed or not and download/update as required.

If you are asking if you can run a directX application without directX being installed, then im not sure, I would guess not, but im sure there would be some inventive person that has figured out an emulator or something....

If it ain't broke.... DONT FIX IT !!!

I am - it's against the EULA.

The EULA for the redist package states that it can only be distributed in a single particular format:


Passing a LINK to the web installer is probably the best & safest way to go.
