Including the DirectX9c runtime in the download is not an option - it's huge. The installer provides a link to Microsoft. We're looking into which would be the most direct link to install DX9, but my mother was able to use the installer, follow the link, install DX9, and get the Aquarium running without any help from me. Believe me, if she can do it, ANYBODY should be able to
Not arguing - it's your choice.
However, I really am curious why adding 33.5 MB to the download would render this "not an option".
Particularly if it would make things easier for your mother (and my mother-in-law).
