I am exploring DirectX development using VS 2003. I had upgraded to DirectX
9.0c in December.
I then installed the VS Express languages, with .NET 2.0 and played around
with them (not using DirectX).
I then installed Lego Star Wars on the same system. It refused to work.
Examining the dxdiag.txt file, the following anomalies came to light:

DirectX Components

system.dll: missing!
system.dll: 1.00.3705.6018 English Final Retail 2/8/2005 16:44:21 1179648
bytes
system.dll: 1.01.4322.2032 English Final Retail 2/8/2005 20:48:14 1224704
bytes

Microsoft.DirectX.dll: missing!
Microsoft.DirectX.dll: missing!
Microsoft.DirectX.dll: 5.04.0000.2904 English Final Retail 12/18/2005

Microsoft.DirectX.dll: 5.03.0000.0900 English Final Retail 2/26/2005
09:26:50 202752 bytes
<snip>
DirectX samples still worked OK, though.
I tried re-installing DirectX 9.0c. Same problem. I paused to check out
what changes might have caused this. The only possibilities were the VS
Express and .NET2.0 installations. I uninstalled them. Sure enough, the
above problems disappeared!
Has anyone else experienced this? Unless someone can suggest a plausible
(preferably demonstrable) alternative cause, I will hold off from VS 2005
and .NET 2.0 development.
Thanks,
Bob Gomersall.
