DirectX Happy Uninstall Editor's Review

A correct DirectX installation is quite vital for your computer, especially when you use it for graphics or gaming purposes. DirectX Happy Uninstall is a handy management tool for Microsoft DirectX. You can use it to install, backup, rollback or restore DirectX files.

I found this tool very useful when changing DirectX versions, basically when upgrading to a newer version of DirectX. In order to get a clean install it's preferable to completely uninstall the previous version in order to avoid conflicts.

So, in case you wish to install a new version of DirectX, you need to download the installation kit to your local drive, than use DirectX Happy Uninstall to start and complete the installation. Of course, it's best if you create a backup of the previous version of DirectX, in case something goes wrong (conflicts may appear between your hardware and DirectX distributions).

Besides installing, you can rollback to older file versions or even perform a complete recovery of the DirectX installation.
