Under what circumstances will Direct3DCreate8(D3D_SDK_VERSION) fail? I know what the documentation says but I''m not sure that I understand it.

out of memory, or screwed up registry/directx installation, possibly.

What if I''m programming with the DirectX 8.1 SDK but my play-tester is using a computer with DirectX 8.0? Would that produce this error or would the program simply refuse to start?
