I want to install Windows 98 SE for gaming old games. For this I need to know what is the latest DirectX version officially compatible with Windows 98 SE?

9.0c but only specific versions it seems - you need a version that's not newer than 08 Dec 2006. Anything later needs at least windows 2000.

This website seems to be a good resource for this.

The latest version to support Windows 98 SE is version 9.0c, up to 08 Dec 2006. Beyond this point, support was dropped, although 9.0c was maintained up until 16 Mar 2009, you won't be able to install this version. A direct link to the version that should work is here.

I believe Windows 98 goes all the way up to 9.0C. See http://www.oldversion.com/windows/directx/ It may be just Windows 2000 that does, but either way no Windows 9X goes past Direct 9.
