Portable version of DirectX runtime

Live long and prosper!

What is this?

This is a portable version of DirectX. It's a *.zip file you can download and unpack into the root directory of a game. It works!

How did I create this?

  1. Start Windows Sandbox instance
  2. Download DirectX End-User Runtime installer from Microsoft website
  3. Install it
  4. Goto C:\Windows\System32 and copy all d3d*.dll & x_input*.dll into a directory.
  5. Profit.

Is this safe?

I believe so. I downloaded it directly from the website. If you wanna play safe, create your own copy of this zip. Do not ever run games which require Admin privileges.
