DirectX, like most any programming library, is a whole unit, even if it is split up into multiple DLLs. Just as the Dotnet libraries would not work without mscorlib.dll, no DirectX libraries will work without Microsfot.DirectX.dll.


Besides that, distributing a single DLL is probably a violation of the license, hence illegal. Microsoft probably has a redistributable installer for managed DirectX (as they do for the Dotnet framework). If anything, that is what you should be passing out with your application. If you are distributing this application on the Internet, provide a link to a download on Microsofts website. If you are distributing via CD then you are going to have to cram the files on there.
