DXUT is a "GLUT"-like framework for Direct3D 11.x Win32 desktop applications; primarily
samples, demos, and prototypes.

The source is written for Visual Studio 2013 or 2015. It is recommended that you
make use of VS 2013 Update 5, VS 2015 Update 2, and Windows 7 Service Pack 1 or later.

These components are designed to work without requiring any content from the DirectX SDK. For details,

DISCLAIMER
----------

DXUT is being provided as a porting aid for older code that makes use of the legacy DirectX SDK, the deprecated D3DX9/D3DX11
library, and the DXUT11 framework. It is a cleaned up version of the original DXUT11 that will build with the Windows 8.1 SDK
and does not make use of any legacy DirectX SDK or DirectSetup deployed components.

The DXUT framework is for use in Win32 desktop applications. It not usable for Universal Windows Platform apps, Windows Store apps,
Xbox One apps, or Windows phone.
 
This version of DXUT only supports Direct3D 11, and therefore is not compatible with Windows XP or early versions of Windows Vista.
