Full Version: [Windows] DirectX Runtimes with a Portable Installation?

I just installed XBMC as a portable installation, no problems there, however I noticed some DirectX runtime libraries were installed which I imagine were not installed in a portable manner.

How does this affect XBMC in terms of portablilty? If I attempted to run XMBC on a computer which did not have those specific runtimes (though still had DirectX installed), would it still run? This is seen quite frequently in indie game coding where a specific runtime was used, and wont run without that specific dll. Any thoughts?
It doesn't affect anything. The directx runtimes just plain don't work in the case of not being fully installed.
