Installing D3DX

Is it OK to make a silent install and consequently do NOT give a chance to the end user to accept the EULA ?

On a side note, after the BF2 demo episode, we now have a bunch of kids looking desesperately for the D3DX dll and ready to install any file with the same name. Sounds like a security issue...

Will MS consider reverting to the good old static link ?
