I'm not sure if this topic belongs in the software section but how do I check which version of DirectX I have? Microsoft released an update but I don't know if my computer automactically installed it when I checked for updates for windows.
Yeah I have the DirectX 9.0c. But filehippo's download says April 2006 and I don't see that on the window so I don't know if it is the most up to date version.

Ooooh!! 9.0c is Feb, so that means 9.0c is not the most recent anymore. I'm going to check it out.

Okay, I downloaded the new update for DirectX but now when I'm installing it, it is asking me to extract the files but I don't know where to extract them to. Any help?

That's why after I download DX I always unpack it, and then re-pack it using an SFX module, either ZIP or RAR.
The point of me re-packing them is to automatically run the setup file DXSETUP.exe, and then have the SFX module automatically remove the temporarily unpacked setup files once DXSETUP.exe finishes. It all equals no cleanup afterwords, MS used to do it that way too for installing DX.

What cleanup Andavari? You lost me. "whatchya talkin' about willis"?
the current version needs you to specify where to extract the installation files. i personally put em at C:\bulls**t . then you have to run dxsetup.exe for it to install. after that, you have to uninstall the files to save HD space. that's the cleanup that he's talking about.
but as for an SFX archive, i think that M$ will do it in the final version or something.

Correct! MS has done that "choose where to extract" stuff in the past and I always end up unpacking their SFX archive and deleting it in favour of my own.
A good place to find latest MS updates as well as other program updates without having to go to individual program web sites. http://www.softwarepatch.com/index.html
