If you only try one DX9 demo this year, I'd seriously try to find another one. However, if you'd like to help me test dependendencies, that would be very much appreciated. This is a tiny ( 80kb ) download which does nothing but open a window, put a DX9 context on it, and clean up after itself after you close the window. ( Click the close button, pressing escape will do nothing.)
If it works correctly, all you should see is a Window with a black background. Nothing else at all. As I say, this isn't to test my prowess with DX9, but I do want to know if I've managed to get all the project settings correct. The idea is that it should work on any machine with the latest version of DX9.0c ( which was released in November, 2008. ) You'll need to get it if you don't have it. Technically it does require hardware T&L, but I doubt any pre-Geforce 1 cards are still around.
If you don't have the .Net framework, this *should* work because I don't use it. If not, please tell me.
If you don't have the Visual C++ 2008 runtimes, this *should* work because I set it to bind them statically. If not, please tell me.
If you don't have the November 2008 release of DX9.0c it won't work. You'll need to get that.

All I want to know is that it runs, doesn't show any errors, doesn't freeze or crash, and it will create a text file called TestDebug.txt as well but that's not important.
In lieu of recent concerns, feel free to nail it down with a firewall, it doesn't need any kind of net access.
