Is there a such thing as a potable direct x9?. I ask because my uni has restriction on their library computers(cannot install direct x9 to DBPro).

Does anybody know a way of compiling in DBPro without having DX9 fully installed on you system?

I don't think so. The only thing I can think of is grabbing each .dll that DBPro relies on and placing them into...I don't exaclty know where you'd place them, maybe the compiler folder. But that theory/method is a very long shot.

copy and paste the directx 9.0 dll files into your program directory folder.

or (better option)

if you know what the directx 9.0 dll files that your program require then copy and paste those dlls to your program directory folder. (usually the compiler will tell what dlls are missing at the program run time.

Quote: "are you asking why:"


because when any program runs in windows, it will look for the dlls in its own directory first. then if it doesn't find any, it will go and search the system32 or 64 depends on the win platform.
