DirectX 9.0c will help improve multimedia experiences on most PCs.
This latest version of DirectX offers better security, updated graphics,
faster frame rates, and support for massively multiplayer games.
It also features more immersive audio when running and displaying
programs rich in multimedia elements such as full-color graphics,
video, 3-D animation and surround sound. If you had an earlier version
of DirectX installed on your system, you will see little difference
in available space on your hard drive following the installation.
DirectX 9.0c will overwrite any earlier versions. This release also
resolves a number of minor bugs and includes security updates.
Important
notes:
This is the 'redist' version of DirectX - all files are downloaded
in one package (rather than an active download).
Instructions: make a system backup or restore point. Double-click
on the file once the download has completed. You will be asked where
you want to place the extracted files. This is a temporary folder
only - you can delete these files once the Direct X 9.0c installation
has completed. Now go to that temporary folder. There will be lots
of files in there - run DXSETUP.exe and wait for it to complete
the installation. Restart you computer if required. Now you can
delete the files in the temporary folder. For future use, you can
keep the file you downloaded or simply delete it - it doesn't matter.
DirectX is a crucial system component. It cannot be uninstalled
without reinstalling your operating system (!) or performing a system
restore/system recovery.

This version of DirectX was released November 2007.
