This interesting Win8.1 DirectX sample:
HLSL shader compiler sample [^]
Use D3DCompile[^], whose documentation states:
MSDN said: You can use this API to develop your Windows Store apps, but you can't use it in apps that you submit to the Windows Store
In other words works on your machine, NOT on the client's one! 
[EDIT] mmm this function appears in the local help but not online...
I wonder if it was true in 8.0 but is OK in 8.1. The sample just passed the Windows AppStore certification Kit (minus error for app images)

Does this serve any purpose then?

Maybe it is OK in 8.1?
Have to check that...

 That's M$ for you.
EDIT: I don't see that phrase. Where is it?
EDIT2: This function[^] has it.
I think the version you have has as error related to that particular function.

Doubtful - it sounds like a licensing problem, rather than a technical one; and from the tone and comment "This is the approach that Epic Unreal Engine 3 and other games have used for years" I wouldn't expect it to change in the near future.

Off to SA tomorrow for two weeks. Haven't packed yet and can only reserve seats tomorrow at 1910. It is manic here at the office. A customer in Europe needs to submit a tax file today and he's on leave for a week once he has done so. I might not have fixed his second problem with it by end of play this afternoon. Our team leader is back from leave on Monday and I don't want to bog him down with sketchy evidence of a problem he'd rather not want to look at. Our European support contact who normally looks after these things is on leave for a week and the tax authorities won't take it too kindly if we're late with the submission. The odds are bloody marvelous that everyone who knows a little and something about it are all on leave at the same time and two people coming back who don't. Our customer has literally thrown me a curved ball which says of the two problems, one might need some follow up and the second one defies logic. 1500, two hours to go. Right now, I see a train smash and I'm frantically trying to document the problem and resolutions. It doesn't help having some 5000+ transactions each of which has an encrypted signature which feed from one to another and you can't insert a card in the deck so to speak. Princess is in the mall and will probably only pack after midnight when I want to get a last decent kip before we leave. My boss wants to know if I'll be contactable but what do I do? I was kind of hoping today would have been a smooth row across still water but all I see is dark clouds, heavy seas, I have a broken oar, taking on water, search parties looking for me elsewhere, piranhas on one side, flipping crocodiles on the other. Another confirmation has just arrived from the customer, to paraphrase, "the operation was a success but the patient died." Bassstard. Double bassstard.

Hope you enjoy San Antonio, South America, South Africa, St Augustine or wherever you're going. It supposed to rain in San Antonio the next day or two.

SA in this case is South Africa. A longed-for break to catch up with family and old mates. It's springtime there and b-i-l said it had been about 25 deg C for a few weeks but some snow might fall on the higher peaks which is where we're spending a week. Brrrrrr. He also has timeshare in a small but very remote game farm. What makes it special is that long ago the committee decided there'd be no TVs, no cell phone masts, no cable or other internet. Bliss. The silence will be deafening. They apparently had leopard in the area a few weeks back which is rare. The nearest town to the place is about 50km away on roads that see but a handful of cars on a busy day. They've already bought the steaks, beers and wine.

I came to share something with you mates here. But the fellow CPian- Chris Elston's status message moved me. Moved enough to make me forget what I wanted to share here.
Never mind, I'll give it a try later some time. regards to Chris Elston again!

Most business owners sued by patent trolls don't talk about it to anyone other than their lawyer; a typical response is to cross one's fingers and hope the problem goes away. It won't, of course. Often they do the next best thing—hope it will go away for as little money as possible.
I'll see your claim and raise you a FOAD! 
Good story of fighting back.
