must i always get latest C++?

must i always reinstall the C++ and directX components each and every time i update to the latest version of construct? if it prompts me im assuming yes, but im just curious. i know with 97.7 i had to get the latest version of directX, but once again, im curious

LOL awesome question. That prompt drives me nuts!

I always say no to them unless I need the latest DirectX runtime, and I haven't had any problems. I think only the DirectX one needs to be updated, but only if the version Construct uses is updated.

Once I install Construct with there "C++ and DirectX", there no further need to install them with updates. Don't worry, even if they are needed, they are always available in Construct directory:

• vcredist_x86.exe
• dxwebsetup.exe

Generally speaking, no, and in future we'll update the installer to remove the prompts if you don't need to.

However in a recent build we've upgraded the Direct-X version needed, to be safe you should update it sometimes (though this is a rare occurance). The C++ distribution has never changed.
