So there is a new SDK update (December 2004) (http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/list/directx.asp?frame=true), great, but im getting confused. I have like 3 DirectX directories on my HD already from these updates because one would not install on top of the other and bla bla bla. Appearently it works as it is now, but im still wondering if my installed version is the correct one. Does anyone know how to check what version im using and where I can see if its the DEBUG version (for developers). If its not, how can I ensure I GET the DEBUG version?
Thanks,

I'm pretty sure it'll automatically install Debug.

Do not install the SDK over previous installs. This is not supported and it's a really bad idea. Uninstall them all. Reboot. Delete any files left behind. Install the latest SDK.

Works fine for me ;). I have 3 or 4 different versions and I use them as needed. I just install in different directories and avoid replacing files (IF any problem occurs)

It's still neither supported nor a good idea. It's caused problems for many people. Considering how easy it is to do, why not do it the recommended way?

Heh. Easy? It's extra work on my part XD. Uninstalling is a pain :(. Nah, see I like to have multiple versions on my computer, namely becuase .NET 2002 (the version I use to write tutorials, becuase not everone has 2003) can only support 9.0a. And for my own developing (.net 2003) i use 9.0c. So, It's a little bit of a dillemma.
Actually I THINK you CAN use 9.0c in 2002. You have to manually add the references becuase they don't show up on 2002 whem you install 9c.
