Does anyone have the DirectX 9.0c redistributable EXE?

[EyeMWing]

Oh, and I'm a legit customer hundreds of times over, I just don't believe in what they're doing.

Why don't you want to use it?

 

[myusername]

Because I don't believe they have any right to verify that I legally own something I legally bought.

Sure you are.. it takes all of 10 seconds to verify.

 

[Toastedlightly]

I bypassed it, can't you just choose not to verify?

I LEGALLY purchased it; they have NO right to harass me about having stolen it. Thereby, I will not allow them to "inspect" my license every time I need an update.

Choose verify, you then go to a second screen where you can choose "not at this time".

So in short, you're using a warezed copy of the OS.

Want me to take a picture of the CD? I don't harass my customers, I don't believe they should harass theirs.

Everyone verifys you have a legit copy or access. PIN numbers for credit cards, membership cards log in authentication everytime you use the internet. Why can't microsoft do the same?

It's one friggin click.

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/winG...-4799-9908-d418cdeac197&DisplayLang=en

On that page, you'll see two options:

Yes, please validate Windows and take me to the download. (If an ActiveX dialog box appears, please click Yes.)

No, do not validate Windows at this time, but take me to the download.

You don't even have to do it.

So, does anyone want to help, or are you all just going to scream "OMGPIRATE" and try to convince me to do something that I'm not going to do because I'm opposed to it as a businessperson?

You don't have to do it. Just bypass it.

I'm opposed to it because it requires ActiveX, which I don't have and never will.

And IE altogether, if it comes to that.

 

[Sphexi]

Google it, you'll find a few places that have it online.

 

[NFS4]

OMG, this is stupid. You don't even have to validate it. Just click the button that says "No, do not validate Windows at this time, but take me to the download."

Geez

by EyeMWing logic i should be able to go into his store...buy something with a credit card or check...and not have him verify there are funds there or who i am....hmmmm....where do you work again?
