Redist DirectX with my app
Author
Hello,
I'm trying to redist part of directx with my app, I've tried to do what's described in the sdk.
In my installer I've added a custom install for directx and included the following files:
Aug2009_d3dx10_42_x86.cab
DSETUP.dll
dsetup32.dll
dxdllreg_x86.cab
DXSETUP.exe
dxupdate.cab
However, when installed on another machine, when I try to run my program I'm unable to create a D3D10 device
What am I missing?

Is the other machine running Vista or Windows 7? Does it work if you download the full DirectX redist from microsoft.com on that machine?

It's running Vista.
I haven't tried installing the full sdk since I understand it can't be uninstalled so I wouldn't then later know if my installer works?

You could try doing a system restore to roll back to before you install the full redist, but I'm not sure if that would work.
When you say you're "unable to create a D3D10 device", what is the actual error you get?
