Of course it is. But I´m refering to the latest "directx_jun2006_redist.exe"
wich is recommended for users that do not have internet connection during
installation.
I don´t like connecting a computer to a network while I´m preparing it´s
system image.
It will include new games who require new installation of directx. I would
rather prefer to install it myself , instead of letting them run it, as it
makes me uncertain of what they really are doing - install it in proper
order, or making a mess of it.
So thats because I prefer to install it before I install new games for my
image.
