Cannot overwrite DirectX 9.0b with 9.0c
« on: August 04, 2006, 06:13:15 AM »
Heya, I've spent the morning downloading various files, all seemingly containing 9.0c, but none of them (even though it says "finished") are able to update my directx to 9.0c.

I've seen a directx uninstall utility, but that requires the xp disc, which I do not have on me. (it reverts to dx 8.1 or something similar, allowing me to install a new version)

Anyhow, any ideas how to get around this and install 9.0c?

Thanks.

(Pentium 4, 3.4ghz , 1gb ram, xp, asus p5wd2 premium, geforce 6800GT)

Did you try this source: DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer.  Can you pass the validation test?

Just tried, downloaded, installed. Same thing, nothing.
