I replied to "Did I miss something?", but the reply was removed after a short period of time.
It was deemed unnecessary, I suppose.
Again, depending on perspective, I/We do not communicate well.
Agree, disagree, differ from majority, or use it to 'correct self', feel right, feel wrong, separately, or together, like, dislike, ...(<-) it may be fine here.
Would you like to be added to 'opposition' in the notes?


@Xarthor

Thank you.
Again, depending on perspective, that is a correct interpretation.
"Microsoft's fault" is a safe bet, perhaps.

process used for old system here
Compile / publish project using A6.6 or later (Lite-C was used also).
If file d3x9_30.dll is produced or copied, move it out of compiled / published directory.
Snatch an alternate .dll, (from Win98 SYSTEM directory?) such as d3dx9_24.dll, and place it in the compiled / published directory.
Rename the alternate .dll (d3dx9_24.dll) to d3x9_30.dll, and the compiled .exe may start (or at least it seems to on the old Win98 system here.)

Maybe that information (process above) is useful to others, maybe (probably) not.
There was a standing request for more information.


@PHeMoX; Quoting PHeMoX.
Thank you.
Potentially, your response contains useful information.

I have been to similar pages and have found confusion there, I think.
(The browser remembered a click on the redistributable link for that page.)

I'm not questioning the accuracy of that.
I am somewhat 'dense'.
I don't recall seeing that assertion by Microsoft directly.
(More searching is scheduled.)

On the 'web installer' page, Win98 is listed,
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/detai...&displaylang=en
but on the redistributable page,
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/detai...&displaylang=en
with the same version number, I do not see Win98 listed.
