If you've done that, by default, it will be installed into Program FilesSlimDX SDK (release date)Binx86 (and x64, depending on. Yes, SlimDX redistributable includes latest DX redistributable (november 2008). Note that this redist is stripped down to only components SlimDX uses, it does not include previous DX updates. So if you don't use any other DX functionality, just SlimDX, then you are safe to not include full DX redist.
