Extra.exe is for ricktendo64. In my W8-1 x64, it works without any issue. 1. If you have another version in your system installed already, uninstall it 1st. 2. You can also find out, if DLL isn't used by any process (by Sysinternals Process Explorer). In that case, kill that process 1st. 3. You can also try to raise that installer to SYSTEM rights by PSExec by Sysinternals: PsExec.exe -hsid cmd PsExec.exe -hsid [path]\totalcmd64.exe (Run as Elevated) (It will open CMD.EXE/TOTALCMD64.EXE with SYSTEM rights, run MSI from there.)
The additional entry is from setup.exe installer/uninstaller, I remove these and un-hide the MSI uninstall entries. Because that is all you need I have also slimmed XNA redist installer to remove old vc runtimes and directx
Yep, it is clever idea to trash installer stuff and keep MSI only with source files. I only did it for some packages due to lack of patience.
If you guys wonder about XNA purpose, here is the hint: "Without XNA you can't collect all Terraria's vanity items." ...because the game will not run.
MS made chaos in DX versions. Currently in the newer OSs like W8-x with integrated DX v11-x there are removed some DX v9-x support libraries although many older games require it. Installing this latest (Jun-2010) DX v9-0c (to DX v11-x OS) will make your DX library base complete.
It's a little more complex than that The Directx redistributable from June 2010 installs Directx 9.0c on Windows XP. The rest of the components are called 'managed Directx', basically cumulative Directx extensions. These are for Directx 9, 10, and 11, and are labelled as such. It's not that Windows 7/8/8.1 is missing Directx 9, it's that they are missing the managed Directx components. The reason behind why they aren't included by default could possibly be a legal one, since OpenGL is a direct 'competitor'.
Anyone have any idea if we need to enable Legacy Components\DirectPlay features in 8.1? What program needs this?
Microsoft Tinker (game ported from Vista)... or Microsoft Tinker Live (2) (game installed via Microsoft Essentials Games for Windows Marketplace)... MDL user Woot123 ported game called MS Tinker from Vista for me (he nicely removed OS version check). He told me: "I have removed OS version check, but still it doesn't work as it needs some legacy DX library d3dx9_39.dll." However the game started to work nicely in W8-0, when Jun-2010 pack was installed.
Hi, i downloaded your pack. But i have some questions about it. 1. I see no maps with the MSXML files? How should I install them? 2. With the Visual C++ 2012 Runtimes, there is a 'minimum runtimes msi' and an 'additional runtimes msi'. Should I install both? 3. The VJSh_v2-0-50728-937 runtimes will not install. I get an error message Error 25015. Failed to install assembly 'C:\Windows\Microsoft.Net\Framework\v2.0.50727\Microsoft.Build.VisualJSharp.dll' because of system error: 0x80070005 I install them on a fresh Windows 8.1 Pro x64 RTM machine... (.net 3.5 is installed) Any thoughts?
Update: VC++ 2013 v12-0-21005-1 x64 x32 Silverlight v5-1-20913-0 (KB2890788) x64 x32 Dev Std @l2p2c2: Sorry, I currently have no time to give support, but: Q3: It is already solved in the thread (by terminating processes using installed DLLs first and raising installer to admin or even system level). Q2: Install both minimal + additional packages. Q1: MSXML is provided the way MS itself provides it. Please note that MSXML5 is normally obtainable only through installed MS Office 2003 or 2007.
