Include DirectX installation in my Plugin installation

I have a browser plugin written in FireBreath and have a msi package genearted.

I packed the msi in a cab file in order to provide IE users automatic installation.

However, my plugin use DirectX, so I would like to install DirectX along with my plugin.

How do I trigger the DirectX installation? from the msi installer? the inf file?

Thanks in advance!
