    Why are you Multi-Posting to all those news groups and not one is  a m.p.directx.* news group ?  They exist!

    For example:
    What does  m.p.windowsxp.setup_deployment  have to with an update of an OS sub-component ?

    What would Windows XP setup and deployment have to do
    with setting up a Microsoft windows component called
    DirectX?

    Surely you jest.

    Every usenet group on the list is about Windows XP.

    As I assume you KNOW, Windows XP support is
    coming to a close next year.

    On top of that, usenet newsgroups have been
    collapsing for lack of use. Usenet itself is fading as well.

    Rounding up the last and best versions of
    Windows installs and updates should be of
    interest to anybody associated with Windows XP.

    If you're going to just walk away from Windows XP
    then why would you care about these issues?

    No. This is NOT a case of yolu installing Windows XP from scratch nor deploying WinXP in an evironment. You are discussing updating a
    sub-component of WinXP (that happens to exist in multiple OS versions ) and thus m.p.windowsxp.setup_deployment is not a valid news group.



    Every usenet group on the list is about Windows XP.

    That doesn't make it correct to post to all of them and you failed to even post in the m.p.directx.* hierarchy. If you are going to discuss DirectX under XP the look under m.p.directx.* for an appropriate news group.



    As I assume you KNOW, Windows XP support is
    coming to a close next
    year.


    That's a moot point.

    Perhaps not in the traditional IT sense of operating
    a corporate update server and pushing everything
    from there to each machine... However, I'm
    trying to build an ideal "master" for cloning
    to my little "fleet" of identical OEM computers.

    Even if it were not as extremely OS dependent
    as it is, I would still disagree with your view.

    G > Every usenet group on the list is about Windows XP.

    Perhaps you are approaching this as a software
    developer based on the platform this creates.
    You suggest approaching it beginning as a platform.

    I am approaching this as a user and see it only
    as a necessity extension of WinXP for general
    functionality.

    If somebody is trying to build a good general-purpose
    master system to clone, you would force them
    to go to specific usenet groups for each of the
    little extensions like Adobe, Java, Codecs, MSE, etc.

    Aren't you being a rediculous purist in that sense?

    The hierarchy options under microsoft.public.directx:
    graphics audio video misc input_devices and
    app_compat ( last post May 7 2010 )
    ( d3dx9_38.dll was discussed in 2008 relative to 64 bit XP )
    ( D3D9D.dll on XP was apparently only a DEBUG version, in SDK.)

    G > As I assume you KNOW, Windows XP support is

    DHL > That's a moot point.

    I disagree. I think that's a GIGANTIC point!

    Thanks for your help, David.


    Apparently the DXDIAG.EXE utility is in C:/WINDOWS/System32
    and shows that WinXP Pro SP3 x86 has 9.0c as standard.

    I made the mistake before of searching for DXDIAG using the
    built in SEARCH for files function which was not indexing
    system and hidden files. I'm working on that.
