I am not sure this question belongs here, but I am attempting to reach wide audience.
Just installed DirectX 8.1 and it will work for me.
Got distracted into installing DXSDK June2010 version because it was “advertized” especially for XP.
Had a heck of time uninstalling it, because it did not have much of DirechShow in it.
Now I found a tutorial for DirectX 9.0.
I certainly do not want to repeat the fiasco of DXSDK June2010 installation.
What really scares me is the “DirectX (9.0c) is a system's (resource) and cannot be uninstalled”.
So here it my question – what is current, usable, with DirectShow sample codes DirectX (SDK) still workable under XP?
And as I said - I am "happy" with DirectX 8.1.
It seems that MS is now supporting only Win7 and up with their DirectX SDK's.
Please – no more “XP is going unsupported by 2014”, heard that too many times, and that is not what I am asking for.
Thanks for reading.

Just run dxdiag and it reported DirectX 9.0c installed! I am going to finsh my app using 8.1 before reinstalling anything. This is realy scarry beacause I did instaled 8.1 only!
