I was trying to run the "terain" sample included in pb, but was unable to do so
Error : d3dx9_42.dll not found on this computer
I have tons of d3dx9 and d3dx10 dlls in the system32 directory, but not this one.
Re-installing PB didn't help.
Any ideas ?

Vista - 7 do NOT ship with DirectX 9 support. DirectX 10 and above are not backwards compatible. They only provide very limited backwards compatibility via emulation. You need to download and install the DirectX 9 runtimes from the Microsoft site:

BTW, glad to see you here. I recognize your user name from elsewhere.

Better download it from Microsoft and use the DX Installers.

Toymaker has an overview site with links to the MS DX9 web installer:

I did a one time DirectX9 webinstall with Microsoft's installer some time ago
and it installed everything just fine.

Maybe it would be a good idea to include the link to the DX9.0c web installer in the PB help.

Well, thank you all very much.
I installed th DX9 kit from Microsoft, and now everything works OK.

Done for PB5.10 docs

hello,

I formatted my pc yesterday and now i have problems with PB5.00
Windows 7 PRO x64

Directx 9 is installed but when i start sprite3d exemple : i have black screen, i see in debugger the program is runing but nothing is displayed.

With directx 7 or openGl it works. I don't understand the problem.

So i wrote directly to the compiler options, and i gave this error now : Le sous-système suivant est introuvable : directx 9
The sub-system isn't found: directx 9

could you help me ?

regards,

Morgan

edit : if i create folder directx9 in C:\Program Files (x86)\PureBasic\SubSystems\ not error but allways blackscreen

The 5.20 Windows installer will provide a check and will install automatically the needed runtime if needed. The needed 'DirectX9 Redistribuable' will be found in the PureBasic SDK directory, so you can also use them to deploy your 3D application easily. This error will be history
