Need help with cab files->directX

Post by MikeR »

I have 3 different DirectX sdks on my harddrive that I've downloaded. They all give me the same thing. A bunch of cab files. What am I supposed to do with these? I can click on them and see a bunch of files, but can't get to the files and can't link to them from my compiler.
I run the setup.exe that comes with them, but have no clue where they are being setup at.
I need to know what to do so that I can add directX in my programs, but have no clue how to find the correct files.
If it exists in the real world, it can be created in 3d

Sys specs:
AMD 3700+ 64 processor
1.0 gb ram
e-Geforce 6600 graphics 256 mb onboard ram

You just have to search for file include/d3dx9.h , and link the path to that file into your irrlicht.dll project.
Btw if you need i can send you rared include folder (815KB) which is ONLY NEEDED for you to recompile irrlicht.dll...
