DXGL is provided subject to the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1. To install DXGL, simply download and run the Windows installer. To upgrade, install over the old version. All programs configured by the configuration tool or automatically added by the DXGL library will be automatically updated during the installation progress.

Updgrade notes

If you upgrade from DXGL 0.5.8 or earlier, the configuration format will be changed, and earlier versions of DXGL will no longer recognize the profiles. In addition, any profiles generated by older versions of DXGL going forward will not be recognized by DXGL 0.5.9 or later. If you wish to migrate any old profiles generated after installing DXGL 0.5.9 or later, you will need to use Regedit to delete the "Configuration Version" registry value from the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\DXGL registry key to force the upgrade to be run again.

The current available version of DXGL is 0.5.23. Please click one of the links below to download.

DXGL 0.5.15 and newer now come in two versions, a standard version requiring at least Windows Vista SP2 and a SSE2-capable processor, and a legacy version with the same requirements as previous versions.

Source code

Experimental versions

DXGL has been built in Visual Studio 2008 and Visual Studio 2005. These builds are experimental and are compatible with Windows 2000 and up. The VS2005 build is built in Multi-Byte Character Set mode and may not be compatible with installation paths containing characters that are not part of your operating system’s ANSI character set.

Windows installer (VS2005 MBCS build)

Please see below for older versions.

Experimental x64 version

DXGL is now available in an x64 version, for use with x64 programs. This version is not compatible with 32-bit programs, and should only be downloaded when needed. OS requirements are the same as for the 32-bit versions, except that the x64 version is required and installation will be canceled if a 32-bit version of Windows is detected.
