DirectX 6 for NT 4
This is a discussion about DirectX 6 for NT 4 in the Windows Games category; Well, here I am again talking about DirectX. . . I downloaded a (not so) little file from today called nt4dx6. zip and it is DirectX 6 for NT, just like it says. It is probably alot like the DX5 hack, but I've yet to check it out so I don't know yet.
Well, here I am again talking about DirectX... I downloaded a (not so) little file from http://www.supportweb.dk/download/microsoft/nt4/directx5/ today called nt4dx6.zip and it is DirectX 6 for NT, just like it says. It is probably alot like the DX5 hack, but I've yet to check it out so I don't know yet. Here's a copy of the readme.txt file in the zip file:
Read and understand this before you patch your system :
----------------------------------------------------------
MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE YOU INSTALL THIS DIRECTX 6.0 UPDATE !
----------------------------------------------------------
This is a UNofficial version of DirectX 6 to Windows NT 4.0.
The latest official version from Microsoft is DirectX 3.0
(included in Service Pack 3, SP3). The creator of the DX6
version is not known - but hey - it works like a charm.
- Unzip nt4dx6.zip
- Run DirectX60nt.exe
- Game until you drop ;-)
Cheers...
Check it out if you want.

Be careful. I remember there was a so called DirectX6 package for NT 4.0 that contents only the .dlls from the Windows 95/98 Version.
OP
I installed it, but after installing the 5.0 version, just so incase it didn't have all the files. I went into the DX control panel and it proudly states that I have DirectX version -1. Yes, negative one. It works OK for now, haven't noticed any problems(yet). I'll report back after trying a few games.
