Microsoft Corporation, System

Legacy DirectX 9 June 2010 redistributable wey games still dey ask for. E dey install D3DX and related side-by-side DLLs. E no be DirectX 12 and e no be di GPU driver.

## Wetin you need know

Dis na di legacy DX9 June 2010 redist. E no be DirectX 12 or GPU driver.

dxsetup.exe dey install D3DX and other 2010-era libraries. DirectX 12 dey inside Windows already. NVIDIA App dey install di display driver.

- **Wetin e be?**: Legacy DX9 June 2010 redist (D3DX)

  **DirectX 12?**: No. DX12 dey inside Windows already

  **GPU driver?**: No. Use NVIDIA App or AMD Software

Feex tok say

If game want DirectX and you get Windows 11 already, I still dey install dis June 2010 redist for D3DX. I no dey hunt DirectX 12 installer, and I no dey treat dxsetup.exe like GPU driver.

## Wetin be DirectX End-User Runtime?

Di DirectX End-User Runtime dey install legacy side-by-side libraries (D3DX9/10/11, XInput 1.3, XAudio 2.7). Microsoft talk say e no dey change di DirectX runtime wey dey inside Windows already. E no be GeForce or Radeon drivers.

## If you never use am before

If old game talk say "install DirectX", e usually want dis June 2010 End-User Runtime (D3DX9 and friends), no be DirectX 12 upgrade. Windows get DirectX 12 already. Dis setup no dey change di OS DirectX version and e no be your GPU driver. Collect dxwebsetup from Microsoft Download id=35.

## Wetin dem dey use am for?

**Old games wey dey call D3DX9**

Di dialog dey call DirectX name. Di file wey dey miss na often D3DX9_43.dll. DirectX 12 dey inside Windows already.

**June 2010 payload only**

dxwebsetup.exe or di offline id=8109 pack. No newer "DX12 end-user" redist dey.

**No be GPU driver**

NVIDIA App or AMD Software dey install drivers. Dis redist no go fix black screen from bad driver.

## Na who e dey for?

- People wey dey launch 2008-2015 game wey dey ask for DirectX
- Anybody wey search "DirectX 12 download"
- Users wey confuse dis one wit Game Ready driver
