Good afternoon all,

Has anyone put together code to detect if Directx is installed?
So far all I've found is:

Looks like a great little library. I got it displaying a mesh and rotating
it within 24 hours. It's great to have documentation!

there is an sample in the DirectX-SDK including a function that can be used to detect the installed DirectX-Version. The sample can be found in the DirectX-SDK-Directory at .\Samples\C++\Misc\GetDXVer

look for an app called:
dxdiag.exe
in your system32 folder.

it will display and test your version of directx on everything.
