К сожалению DX3 это последный ПОЛНОСТЬЮ РАБОТАЮЩИЙ официальный релиз DX от MS. Хотя конечно есть и неофициальные. Но....

Well, NT4 does in fact take the Dx6.1 install, and it works. I have to point out that its a matter of security access to the hardware that NT does not allow, not the fact that DX doesnt work with it.

as far as the runtime goes, DX 3 runtime is the only officially supported version on NT 4. there is a "net-hack" version of DX 5 runtime around that "sorta" works on NT 4, but it is not an MS product and not supported. the 6.1 SDK itself should install on NT 4 so you can read the help and view the source - but the runtime will not install on NT 4. thus you could probably build DX 6.x samples on NT 4. but you cant run them. and even the DX 3 runtime has problems on NT 4. DSound runs emulation only, D3D is emulation only, there is no DInput joystick support ( if I remember correctly ).

Так что в принципе ставить Direct X выше пятёрки не имеет особого смысла. Хотя... Действительно, у меня неплохо, к примеру, 6-й Direct Play работает... Да и в андерграунде где-то я видел релизы на non-MS DX-6.1. Надо попробовать.
