That's precisely the point... I checked the install and a number of DX10 files were installed from the redist. Some of those that were installed were flagged as DX10 only. I opened up a few and peeked inside to verify this. I find it interesting that the installer would install *any* DX10 .dll files to my system at all on my XP SP3 OS *if* DX were only intended for Vista.
In essence, this would indicate that *some* applications running under XP are capable of using DX10 libs...

I'm going to guess that the setup.exe may install files to your computer but maybe those DX10 are inactive. Or their are related files that are linked to DX9 files? To be honest I don't know the technical stuff. I switch over to Vista over a year and a half ago. I don't have XP systems anymore. Even my old rigs using vista 32 ultimate and Home Premium.

I can't test your theory.
