DirectX 8.0a for Windows 95/98/Me/2000
Important:
After installation, the DirectX 8.0a run time cannot be uninstalled.
DirectX is a system component. It cannot be uninstalled without reinstalling
your operating system. Please also see the disclaimer.
This latest version of DirectX offers updated graphics, faster frame
rates and support for massively multiplayer games. It also offers
more immersive audio when running and displaying programs rich in
multimedia elements such as full-colour graphics, video, 3-D animation,
and surround sound. If you had an earlier version of DirectX installed
on your system, you will see little difference in available space
on your hard drive following the installation. DirectX 8.0a will overwrite
any earlier versions.
This package is also known as the 'redist' version. According to Microsoft,
it can be applied to 95/98/Me or 2000 (previously there were two separate
packages รป hence the larger size of this file). By double-clicking
on the package, it will extract its contents to a temporary directory.
Double-click on dxsetup.exe located in this directory to start the
installation. |
