Finding Java and DirectX Versions Installed on a Machine
DirectX has been included on several different releases of programs, drivers, and games. I'm always looking for a definitive list of versions numbers. Below is a listing of each of the DirectX versions and their associated versions.
Version Number - DirectX Version
4.02.0095 - DirectX 1.0
4.03.00.1096 - DirectX 2.0 / 2.0a
4.04.0068 / 69 - DirectX 3.0 / 3.0a
4.05.00.0155 - DirectX 5.0
4.05.01.1721 / 1998 - DirectX 5.0 (Released with Windows 98)
4.06.02.0436 - DirectX 6.0
4.07.00.0700 - DirectX 7.0
4.07.00.0716 - DirectX 7.0a

Not quite Altiris juice material
This was some great information. Unfortunately, it doesn't quite seem to belong in an Altiris forum. If you had put in a script to run with Altiris to look for this key, it would have been much more valuable. Good information, though.
