While installing the newest game of the Medal of Honor series, I got a strange DLL error saying that the game couldn't be launched.

When I installed DirectX 11, available as an installer, it worked.

Is it mandatory to install all the DirectX installers for subsequent different games?

  • You must install all the DirectX interfaces so that earlier games can use them, but not all the versions of the DirectX runtime itself -- just the latest.

Is it mandatory to install all the installer for DirectX for subsequent different games?

Considering a game can use a specific date release of Direct X its always good to install the EXACT version the game expects. There can be differences in the actual output of a method, if say there is a bug, and the developer adjusted their code to compensate for known behavior.

Depending on the Game you are installing you have to at times install Direct X updates that has been happening for a long time and in every version of Windows.The only difference is the Direct x version its updated right now...

Hope this Helps...
