Hi Trainzers,
I am pleased to announce my latest mini-utility (or should I say automated utility)
This utility will make the process of downloading and installing DirectX 9.0C (June 2010/April 2011) as easy as running a program.
Features
Due to a problem involving Norton's trust system, users may find that Norton may remove the tool before it can be run. This is a known problem involving other utilities of mine as well, and there is not a lot I can do about it at this point in time. Other antivirus products do not have the same problem.
System Requirements
Windows 2000 or later
.Net Framework 2.0 or later (which you should already have from the Trainz installation)
200MB hard drive space (this is for the DirectX temporary installation files as well as the program and it's log file(s).
Administrator access to be able to write to a temporary subfolder of the C drive.
Problems? Let me know, and be prepared to send the log file(s) from the program's folder.
Comments? Let me know below.
Download Link
At the moment, the tool can only be downloaded from this thread.
Please click here to download the tool.

P.S. For those who would rather update DirectX manually, see http://forums.auran.com/trainz/showthread.php?58843-Updating-DirectX-9-0c-how-to-do-it.
EDIT: An unexpected issue has cropped up that did not appear during testing. I will post a message when the problem is resolved.
EDIT EDIT: The problem seems to have been resolved.
EDIT EDIT EDIT: The link is also available on my tutorial website on the Updating DirectX page.

Features
- Automatic DirectX unpacking and installation
- Download progress information
- Automatic download of the redistributable
- Can be run directly from the Run/Save prompt
- Standalone, so no installation needed apart from the DirectX redistributable
- This program must be run as administrator - for Windows Vista and 7 (and later versions), this should happen automatically, and a User Account Control box will pop up.
- This will take approx 30 minutes - 1 hour to complete, due to the nature of the installation
- The program will silently install DirectX so no further user intervention is required.
- Due to the program being new, Smartscreen Filter may try to block it. Simply click Actions, then Run Program Anyway.
