Microsoft DirectX 8.0 (C++)

About DirectSetup

Microsoft® DirectSetup® is a simple API that provides one-call installation of the Microsoft DirectX® components. This is more than a convenience—DirectX is a complex product, and installing it is an involved task. You should not attempt to install DirectX manually.

DirectSetup includes several API functions and structures. It also includes a prototype DirectXSetupCallbackFunction that can be defined by an application to customize the user interface during the installation process. The DirectX SDK includes a sample application that demonstrates the use of this callback function. For more information, see Dinstall Sample.
