MDX runtime?

Hello,

For apps that have been created with Managed DirectX (summer 2004) and will be running on Win7, is it still necessary to install the MDX runtime? I was hoping it would be "baked" into Win7. Anyone?

You still need the runtime. MDX was deprecated a long time ago and the number of applications build on it was very low.
I see. Would the June 2005 redistributable work for something built against summer 2004? Both are MDX 9.0c apparently.

Finally, any else needed by the end user if the app makes use of pixel shaders (v3)?
Even the Redist from the newest SDK still contains the MDX cabs.

Pixel Shader 3.0 requires the Direct3D 9.0c runtime. Vista and 7 have this already. It was although part of SP2 for Windows XP. If you need to run with lower requirements you need to include the necessary cabs in from the redist in your setup.
