I didn't think there was a DirectX 10 updater like there was for DirectX 9. I mean I've never found one, but please prove me wrong.

There isn't. It used to be called the "DirectX 9.0c" (or whatever was the current version at the time) redistributable or web installer, they changed it to just "DirectX End-User Runtime" shortly before Vista launched as the update then contained updates for both DX9 and DX10.

Ah, I always wondered about that. Thanks for the heads up. Does the redistributable include DX10 as well?

Yes. Only difference between the redistributable and the web installer is the size; the redistributable is the full DirectX update (current one is ~92 MB, and recommended to use on a new Windows install), where the web installer is a small file that when run only downloads the directX files that are missing or been updated (last time I ran it it downloaded I think it was 8 or 8 files that was less than 5 MB).
