Title: DirectX versions 1, 2 and 3.
Post by janskjaer on 14.06.05 at 18:01:04

I've come across an old PC demo disc from the April 1997 issue of Computer Gaming World (CGW, later renamed PCGW) which I needed to dig out to reclaim a copy of the first release of Worldcraft for Quake.

I also came across three different versions of DirectX. These are v1.0, v2.0 and v3.0.
I noticed that FalconFly already has DirectX 2 and 3, but not the first release.

If anyone requires any three of the versions (for some reason if you can't get the last 2 from FF's Archive), let me know and I will host them?

@FalconFly - Would you be interested in the original setup files for archiving purposes?

Adding DirectX version 1.0 would be cool. The DirectX collection will be bigger then ;)

Sure thing, just shoot it over :)

Okay, here it is. :)

I've packaged the original folder into a ZIP file, as it came uncompressed originally.

You can find it here:

I would suspect this version of DirectX is getting pretty difficult to find on the net nowadays. I'm betting even Microsoft don't have it available for download anymore.

Sorry, but I have been unable to successfully install it, as I think it requires the Win95 OS, which I don't have installed on any of my rigs at the present time.

Let me know how you get on with it.

Okidok, got it :)

I don't plan to install it myself either, no Win95 installed here since a long time.

I have running Windows '95 on my 386SX25 with 4MB ;D

But since the computer is benchmarking I'm not fiddling around with it. Maybe I'll try DirectX 1 someday on a 486 or something ;)
