Direct X 9c... just won't install

[gsoul2soul]

I don't know... what's wrong !!!

I'm using a valid Win XP prof. and when i got to Microsoft website... the validation occurs... and i download the "directx 9c" package, and then nothing !!!

it won't simply install !!!

Why ?

I have P4 2.4 / Geforce 6800 GS /

help... currently im using Direct X 9b

What error occurs when u try to install ?

 

[Anand_RF]

DirectX comes with most games, try using the installer from one of them.
Or,
Try downloading a software called directX happy uninstall. Use that to install dx 9.0c. You can find it at softpedia.com. I had the same problem and was able to fix it after using it.

 

[rakeshishere]

ya try as what anand suggested..It will defintily solve ur problem

 

[RaghuKL]

think you are just extracting the files from one exe .... use the installer usually the setup or dxsetup.exe

 

[paul_007]

if u are using a packed directx exe setup , then it will extract the necessary file to the folder which u will mention , and then frm there use setup. exe to install the directx

In Run Command,execute dxdiag and Please post the screenshot

^^try getting the lastest dx 9.0c release & install it

 

[gsoul2soul]

i did... it just starts... i press NEXT button... and it suddenly reaches to last thing "Finish button"

And there you go... the whole installation process is over in 20 secs.

Hmmm.... it just won't install !!!

 

[Stalker]

^^again???
r u sure that dx9.0c is not already installed on ur system??
maybe u shud use an external utility to determine which directx u r using.....

i had exact same problem before.
to solve this problem install window xp with service pack one or just plain win xp pro(dont install if u have sp 2).
then install directx 9.c
then install sp 2
problem solved.
