How to download Older Versions of Intel GPA (DirectX 9 Support) without Dropbox

[chenhao1]

We are maintaining an application of DirectX9, but we found that only the latest version of the GPA installation package is provided on this official website, and it has abandoned the support for DirectX9. I found the following post with similar requirements in this community (which has been resolved), but for some reasons, I can't access the installation package placed on dropbox.com as prompted in the solution.

Where can I find the installation package that can support the DirectX9? 

Thank you.

Hi chenhao1,

Thank you for your post. Although we don't support DirectX 9 streams anymore as of the 2024.1 release, we have been given approval to share the 2023.4 Release (which has support for DirectX 9 capture and playback) to allow users to continue to profile Direct3D 9 titles.

Sorry that you are having trouble accessing the 2023.4 GPA Release Installation Package. We can confirm that the Dropbox download below is still active:

https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/bvbr1b00443muibgbl6u6/gpa_23.4.1702630016_release-external_x64_standalone.msi?rlkey=0fg09zitn906qcwbovpknf3vm&st=wg9wra4p&dl=0

Could you share what you see on your side?

Thanks and look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you for your reply.

We are located in China and we can't directly access that dropbox.com. It doesn't mean that this link has expired.

Could you please provide a download address that is not placed on a third-party network storage service, just like the latest version of the installation package that can be directly downloaded from your intel.com?

Thank you.

Hi chenhao1,

Thanks for your reply and clarifying your situation. Unfortunately we are unable to upload old releases of GPA to the official intel.com website, which is why we require usage of third-party network storage solutions. I am not familiar with the laws and legislation in China, but do you by chance have access to a government-approved VPN that you can access Dropbox with?

As an alternative, it seems that you may be able to access Microsoft OneDrive, so I have uploaded the Intel GPA 23.4 release to OneDrive below. 

gpa_23.4.1702630016_release-external_x64_standalone.msi

I can't guarantee the availability of this link will be as maintained as Dropbox. But please let me know if this works for you.
