This almost makes me want to learn something beside DBPro just to get away from having to make some end-users install DirectX 9.0c first. ERROR MESSAGE! That is, unless you as the software developer takes care of installing DirectX 9.0c on the end-user's computer first. Many slightly older games use DirectX 9.0c, I believe, so for most gamers, they have already installed DirectX 9.0c on their computers, but for non-gamers, and also for, I think, new computers, it's something the users have to go through, and if you make a program with DBPro, and the user hasn't installed DirectX 9.0c yet.

Knowing that this download works or not will help me. I am planning on letting people download my game from my website, and show them the link to the "DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer" page on my website for people who do not have DirectX 9.0c. Is anyone having problem downloading and installing DirectX 9.0c, too? Does the link I found solve the problem for you? Please let me know. Since I had already installed DirectX 9.0c on my computers, and you cannot uninstall DirectX, I haven't been able to test the "DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer" (dated ) I found. Where is the "DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer"? I had to look all over the Microsoft site to finally find it here: The option "DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer" dated used to work, but now it simply takes you to the Windows 10 download page. When you search "DirectX 9.0c", it will give you a list of download options.

And if that user tries to do that, here is the tricky part: There is an error on Microsoft's website! So, if a DBPro application user's computer doesn't have DirectX 9.0c installed, that user needs to download and install DirectX 9.0c. DirectX 9.0 includes security and performance updates, along with many new features across all technologies, which can be accessed by applications using the DirectX 9.0 APIs." If you don't know what DirectX is, here is Microsoft's description: "Microsoft DirectX is a group of technologies designed to make Windows-based computers an ideal platform for running and displaying applications rich in multimedia elements such as full-color graphics, video, 3D animation, and rich audio. I learned that just because a computer has DirectX 10 or higher installed, it doesn't mean DirectX 9.0c was installed. I learned that it was because DirectX 9.0c was not installed on that computer, which programs made with DBPro needs to function. I made a small game for fun, and when I tried to give it to other people to play, immediately I run into the problem of a computer giving the error message: "d3dx9_35.dll was not found".
