Hi where can i download the correct DX SDK ?

I have Windows 7 + Radeon HD 5850 videocard.

with a fast search : The video card supports DX11,2

the windows 7 with updates seems to support up to 11.1

Is this real ?, can i not install the DX11,2 SDK on windows 7 ?

Maybe i need the SDK 11,1 version then.

Only i can not find the 11,1 or 11,2 SDK anywhere.?

Where do i download the older SDK`s ?

thank you

There is no separate DXSDK since DirectX 10, it's bundled into the Platform SDK/Windows SDK, and the SDK "runtimes" are deployed through Windows Update. The latest Windows SDKs are kind of bundled with Visual Studio 2017 (you can select them in the installer), but you can download it separately if needed.

Ok, thanks for the info.

Is there not a problem that i accidently install the to new version for my system ?

btw : i have no internet connected to my programming computer, is that a problem ?

I still have visual studio 2005 the profesional edition with box and discs, is that a problem ?

The weird thing is i can only find this link : https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=6812

It has a file from juny 2010, a bit old.

Correct, you cannot install DX11.2 on Windows 7.

As was written above, DirectX has been tied to the OS version since 2006. The last OS to have separate editions of DirectX was Windows XP.

DirectX 10 was Windows Vista. Portions of DX11 were backported in Service Pack 2 after consumer and developer outcry.

DirectX 11 was Windows 7. Portions of DX11.1 were backported to Windows 7 in the service pack, but there was significant missing functionality.

DirectX 11.1 was Windows 8. 

DirectX 11.2 was Windows 8.1.

DirectX 11.3 was Windows 10, as the final update to the DX11 series.

DirectX 12 is Windows 10, and there are three versions so far. There was the initial version with SDK 10240 (initial launch), SDK 15063 ("Creators Update", also called 1703), and SDK 17763 ("October 2018 Update").  You only get the functionality if you update Windows 10 to that version.

No, unless you accidentally move from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1.  If you want DX11.2, you must migrate the system to Windows 8.1. If you move to Windows 10 you get DX11.3.

I think the last version of the Windows SDK that work SDK v7.1 from 2010. After that, VS2005 could be manually configured to point to the newer compiler and newer libraries and headers.

I have downloaded the june2010 package : it contains everything.

I installed win7 and visual C++ 2005, after that i run visual studio servicepack 1 and visual C service pack 1.

Hope it works all good this evening.

How can you say if DX11.1 11.2 or 11.3 is used ?, i only see directorys of DX10 and DX11 in this package.

I also have a problem with opening files in visual C++ 2005, the solutions wont react to open, and cpp files give error and wont open.

"Cannot send command to program"

Maybe i should make a new topic.

Hmz, i ca not find any other package from official microsoft then the juny10 version.

Ok then i download the platform SDK.

I have this weird on my winXP PC :

visual 2005 working all good here,

if i run the DX11 examples, they play ok.

if i compile the examples they wont run : d3d11.dll is missing.
