DirectSetup for Inno

DirectSetup for Inno (formerly ISX DSetup DLL) is an extension for Inno Setup that allows you to check and update DirectX during the installation process. It was primarily written for use by Inno Setup, but any program that can use DLLs can also make use of this library.

Requirements

To use or compile DirectSetup for Inno, you will need to have the Microsoft DirectX SDK installed on your computer. (You can find the SDK at <http://msdn.microsoft.com/directx/>.) If you want to use the DLL as an extension for Inno Setup, you will need to place DSETUP.dll from the Redist\DirectX9 folder into the same folder as isxdx.dll — note that this legally requires you to include all the required redistributables from the SDK as specified in {SDK_DIR}\Documentation\License Agreements\directx redist.txt.

Users installing programs whose installers use IsxDX do not require the DirectX SDK; however, developers of setup packages using IsxDX are required to have the SDK as the installer redistributables are needed, and setup packages are required to include the installer redistributables.

Samples

DirectSetup for Inno comes with two sample scripts for Inno Setup. isxdx_demo.iss is a simple script that brings up a message box showing the currently installed version of DirectX during installation. isxdx_dxredist.iss is a shell that with a few changes gives you a starting point for including the DirectX redistributables in your setup package. If you wish to use DirectSetup for Inno and have not begun creating your own setup script, it is advised that you edit isxdx_dxredist.iss.
