Thanks for the reply, Bob. I have a bootstrapper that installs the correct
version, but I do want to add a detection in the MSI that blocks install if it
isn't already there. I figured out how to use DirectorySearch and FileSearch
which seems to do the trick.
I'll take a peek at the SDK documentation as well.

I'm working on an installer that needs to detect whether a specific version of
DirectX 9.0 is installed (9.0c).
The DirectX SDK says: "Don't do that." The suggested approach is to always
install the version of DirectX you need and let the DirectX installer update
(or not) the installed DirectX.
