MPC Home Cinema and DirectX Runtime?

After I install MPC Home Cinema on Windows 7 it tells me I should also install DirectX Runtime.

I thought Windows 7 already comes with the latest build DirectX 11?

Is DirectX runtime still needed if I am running Windows 7?

Should I just agnore this message or is it ok to install?

If the MPC Home Cinema is throwing an error about missing the D3DX9.dll in Windows 7, this link may have more information on how to fix the issue.

(youtube clip)

So if I do not get that error then I do not need to install DirectX Runtime?

DirectX 9c is also for Windows 7 and is fully supported.
The DirectX 9.0c download will update the DirectX 9.0c components and drivers already present on your system.
Look at the supported OS's. I've used this update myself numerous times.
Trust me when I say this will update your DirectX components and drivers which COULD in turn correct this very specific issue you are having. It's best to be up to date anyways.

I had the same error message, numerous times on fresh installs as well. I just re-downloaded it, ran it, and everything was happy. No issues.
