Windows 10: Where to Officially Download DirectX SDK June 2010?

Hello, I've been trying to install a game engine on my Windows 10 PC, but, I'm getting an error message that is saying that it needs the DirectX SDK June 2010 to be installed as a mandatory prerequisite. Note: I say "game engine" because I don't know if I can say the name without violating NDA or confidentiality.

Since I read that the DirectX SDK is no longer available for download, I have tried to find others ways of installing the game engine in a way that it would recognize DirectX from the Windows SDK, but no matter what I've done or tried to find an answer online I hadn't seemed to find one. I've been talking back and forth with the game engine support and they have not been able to help me, since apparently, they still have the DirectX SDK when it was available for download. They also have said that the game engine can use newer versions of DirectX, but basically from what I've gathered, is it needs the DirectX SDK June 2010 to start with in order to set up properly.


So, basically, this request is asking if I can get a copy of the DirectX SDK June 2010 somewhere? I know I can download it from archive websites, but I don't know if unofficial downloads violate the DirectX SDK License for making more copies than the license permits and where it says "not to publish the software for others to download".


For some reason Microsoft still has the DirectX SDK March 2008 available for download, but that version doesn't work with the game engine.


Please don't reply with saying "it's legacy software, it's ok to download anywhere." As that's not what the SDK license says.



Please reply only with an official link or a way to download the DirectX SDK officially.

Can I uninstall Microsoft DirectX SDK (June 2010) from Windows 10?

While installing a older game on my new computer with Windows 10, it installed Microsoft DirectX SDK (June 2010). That screwed up my computer. I could not uninstall it because it did not show up in Control Panel as an installed program, so I had to 'restore'
to get back to normal.

Now I just found a folder named 'Microsoft DirectX SDK (June 2010)' in C:/Program Files (x86) but it still is not showing in Control Panel as an installed program.

• Does Windows 10 need this?
• If it was by my game install then it should have been removed when I restored, right?
• Can I just delete it or what?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

 

DirectX installation failed

Thank you for the update. Please verify if DirectX June 2010 is being offered via Windows Update. If your computer is already running DirectX 12, it has backwards compatibility with the previous version of DirectX. Moreover, you may also want to consider
performing the suggested steps in this article.
