Where is the dshow debug runtime and how do I install it?
A. The dshow debug runtime went missing in the Summer 2004 SDK update but was reintroduced in the December 2004 SDK update in the Extras folder. The reason it went away was it didn’t meet new stringent internal security guidelines MSFT put in place. Here are instructions from Grant in the public newsgroups (not tested post-XP SP1, a checked debug build install from MSDN is probably the best way to get the debug runtimes going forward but TMH has not tested this): Here’s how I was able to install it under Windows XP SP1 (I’d guess this process should work for other Windows versions), your mileage may vary and I won’t be responsible for any damage done to your system by following these instructions. They’re for reference only: 1. Download the DirectX 9.0c SDK Extras and extract it to the DirectX 9.0c SDK installation folder. This will create a subdirectory DirectShow\Developer Runtime\x86\
