Where to get DirectX binaries?

OpenGL works in my Irrlicht apps, but because I don't have the DirectX binaries DirectX doesn't work (the app closes abrubtly without an error message).

The best place to find the dx binaries is naturally from the latest dx sdk.
But it is almost half a gb. I know that only a tiny fraction of that is what I actually need, as most of it is filled with examples and tool applications that are completely useless to me. However, I could not find the binaries outside of the SDK.

My connection is slow. I don't want to download the whole SDK.

Does anyone have any download links to get the binaries I need, to use EDT_DIRECT3D9 in my applications?

grab the latest runtime version of directx. That should allow you to run dx9 applications unless you compiled irrlicht without directx support.

You will want to distribute the correct version of the DirectX End User Runtime. If you have rebuilt the Irrlicht.dll, you need to make sure that the version of installer you provide is consistent with the version of the DirectX SDK used to build the library..
