Do I need to install dx9 to run games in vista?

Because I am trying to run black and white 2 and it gives me an error saying d3dx9 is not present.
 
You need to install DX9 (or DX10, which includes DX9) if you want to run DX9 games, obviously... not a Vista thing, you just need it installed to run software that requires it.

If you have DX10 installed and you're still getting problems, try running the game in WinXP compatibility mode.
 
I usually install the Feb2007 release of 9.0c in vista, that corrects any problems that might occur.

The DX installer won't overwrite any of the DX10 files, as most of them are newer versions than what the installer has.
