Windows Vista I installed DirectX 9....

[Bios Nova]

I was installing a game and it asked me to install DirectX 9, so i did. i was
just wondering, would this effect the DX 10 in Vista or not?

thanks in advance!

No. The game will run the DirectSetup program, which will determine that
your computer can has a suitably up-to-date version of DirectX (version
9L), and it will take no action.

It is possible that the game might need some optional components, in
which case they'll be installed too.

None of this effects DirectX 10 - that's a seperate system that is never
affected by DirectX 9.
