checking for directx 9

[RoSmecher]

what i wish to do is check if directx 9 is installed on the users computer and if it is not then i wish to simply show a msgbox saying something like "DirectX 9 needs to be installed before running this app."

i wish to check simply for directx 9.0 doesn't have to be 9.0c

thanks for your time and i look forward to your reply.

This talks about revision (c);however, maybe it will help or you can question the forum member that posted such.

Basic DX 9(c) detection:

Dxver = Registry.GetValue(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "Software\\Microsoft\\DirectX", "Version", true);

if (Dxver < "4.09.00.0904") then
	Dialog.Message(" - An Earlier Version of Directx(tm) detected -","DirectX 9(c) needs to be installed before running this app");
end

hope helps..
btw you can always just download the "directx9(c).zip" module script
and open it in Setup Factory 7 and grab-modify what you need..
..there are a few conditions as to wehter DX9C can be installed,
so worth a look.

to check if is initial release of DX9 (directx9A) or later

if (Dxver < "4.09.00.0901") then

end
