wix - How to automatically uninstall DirectX 9? -
i putting wix installer includes silently installing directx 9:
dxsetup.exe /silent
how tell wix how un-install directx? there switch on command line?
i need able configure installer un-install directx automatically, else users complain if can't uninstall.
for directx end-user runtime (aka directsetup or dxsetup), has long been recommended don't try uninstall it.
in case, on versions of windows can't 'uninstall' directx , running dxsetup doesn't "install directx" either it's built os. can updated installing new version of os, installing service pack, or applying windows update. applies versions of windows starting windows xp service pack 2, windows server 2003 service pack 1, , windows xp x64 edition.
dxsetup still useful deploying stuff legacy d3dx9, d3dx10, d3dx11, xactengine, xaudio 2.7, xinput 1.3, d3dcompile #43 or earlier, etc. doesn't ever install "directx".
see no direct setup. if after reading article still think need run dxsetup part of deployment, should pick latest version of dxsetup avoid potential issues, , trim down cabs actually use in application.
