DirectX Runtime (9.0c) Installer for Windows

DirectX Runtime Installer

A lightweight Python wrapper to install the DirectX End-User Runtime (9.0c). This package simplifies the installation of legacy DirectX components (d3dx9, d3dx10, d3dx11, XAudio2, XInput, etc.) required by many classic games and emulators.

🚀 Overview

Many modern Windows installations lack the specific legacy DLLs required by older software. This package bundles the official redistributables and provides a one-line command to install them effortlessly.

📦 Installation

Install the package via pip:

pip install directx
🛠 Usage
To trigger the DirectX installation, you must run the following command in a terminal with Administrative Privileges:

Bash
directx-install
What it does:
Admin Check: Verifies if the terminal has the necessary permissions.

Path Resolution: Locates the bundled DXSETUP.exe within the package.

Silent Setup: Runs the installer in silent mode (/silent), which automates the process while showing a progress bar.

⚠️ Requirements
Operating System: Windows 7, 8, 10, or 11.

Privileges: Administrator access is required to write to System32/SysWOW64 directories.
