Can't Update DirectX 9.0c

[Geezer Gamer]

I am currently running 9.0c but not a current version.  I went to the correct site and ran the dxwebsetup.exe program, and it begins to prepare to download the software... I get the error "Set Up Could Not download the file, Please retry later or check network connection"

I have been downloading other sofware with no issues, so it seems a bit strange

I attempted to attach the screen shot of the error message
Any suggestions?

nope no suggesiton there we all have the same issue i cnt install or update it 

Basically im thinking its microsoft sever ask anyone here to do the same thing you have and they will get the same error me and a buddy from here tryed updateing mine and we couldnt its microsoft , paintents is a virtue and im sure they will have the download fixed in no time ...

So is this some kind of known conflict with the most recent update of directx?

I play Battle of Brittain II and they just issued a huge patch to upgrade the game. It promps you and sends you directly to the Microsoft website because it claims the game won't run without this most current update.

I only found out myself about a week ago when i was tweaking battlefield 2142 to inhance its speed and direct x 9 wouldnt install from microsoft ..... i would say its a known issue but if you can im sure you could contact microsoft some how on the site . I havent personally but its been going on for a while now so i think i shall...leave it with me i will try and contact them and when i get a response i will post it on here for you. 

I say when .... if i get a reponse ....

I tried it and it did download some kind of  update to Direct X, it was almost instantanous....must have been a very small file.  The path you gave me looks like something from 2004, path below is June 2007.  Didn't get me past the current game error for having an old version of DirectX
