[Noss]

You don't need the sdk

You only need dirctx9 and the managed libraries.

I know... but where do i get em? all i found in microsoft was some runtimes BUT with SDK included, pls gimme a link =)

You can get directx9 through windows update or do a yahoo search for directx9 and its the first link that comes up.

The managed libraries can be found in the first topic of this forum there is a link near the bottom of the first page of that topic.
