   Guys, i had this problem on three different computers this week and i tell you the way to fix it is downloading America’s Army 2.8 (2.5GB) and installing it you can uninstall it straight away (if you dont like the best free online game lol), all other games i’ve had havent fixed it but the only free game i have fixes it. lol this sounds like a stupid spam message, but i assure you it works, you dont have to stuff around with uninstalling DirectX or anything.

    I’ve put all the cab file from directX9.0c to 9.0b already. But when the setup is installing about a half, it told me that” directX did not copy a required file”. This made me cannot complete the installation.

    can someone reply me?
    Thanks.

    thanks for this great tutorial…….I’ve installed directX 9.0c!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    But I think before installing directX 9.0c , you should restore your computer to the first day after formatting by using system restore in xp. this is because after you trying to install the directX several times with no successfully .the memory is still contained in the pc, so the only solution is to restore it………….

    this is very easy……….

    Hello,

    I encountere’d the prblm, here’s what wrk’d :

    I found a program that uninstall’s dwn to directx 8.1 (i surf’d tried 1 that suck’d,lookin 4 disc) but found one soon enough that just does it.

    next, you have to find a 9.0b kit (shows the files, not a “.exe”)

    you have 2 have a 9.0c kit (i had a recent video card install disc”)

    you can put these anywhere, i used my desktop

    I replaced only the 2 files:

    dsetup32.dll
    DSETUP.dll

    FROM 9.0b TO 9.0c (install from 9.0c)

    after restart I have 9.0c (it told me it was installing ” 9.0″)
    (and it didn’t just flash thru! sayin’ “rdy 4 use”)

    work’d 4 me, good luck!

    here’s what didn’t work:

    REPLACING CAB FILES!!! (had 2 reload windows)
    I saw it on some postings.

    # Now here goes the tricky part. Copy all the CAB files from your DirectX 9.0c folder (DX9C) into your DirectX 9.0b folder (DX9B). Choose “YES” when prompted to overwrite files. Note that copying NON-CAB files from DX9B into DX9C might also work (I didn’t try it so I can’t guarantee it).

    # Run the DirectX installation program from the 9.0B folder (DX9B). DirectX 9.0c installation should work now.

    after finishing this steps. I noticed that running dxdiag it is still in DirectX 9.0b not in DirectX 9.0c… can someone help me?? im really confused

    I’ve done all this and I still get Directx 9.0b coming up. I’ve installed 9.0c with 9.0bs’ dll files and I’ve tried installing it with all of 9.0c CAB files in the 9.0bs’ folder but still no joy.

    Now I understand why everyone hates Micro$oft so much!

    OMG!!!!!! this is the golden needle in the haystack!!!!! damn, you are the man, bro. this saved my life. my computer was totally FUBAR b/c of the f-cking MS web download of 9c (dxwebsetup.exe). anything to do w/ visuals, even IE or WMP just froze b/c they couldnt run graphics/video graphics. certain apps wouldnt even run. the hack of combining files from the redistribution version folders worked. this totally solved the problem and it finally installed and upgraded to 9c!!!!

    man, i have spent many many hrs freaking out over this problem and have tried everything. the webdownlad version i tried seemed liake it installed fine, as it completed successfully, but the directx diagnostic tool kept showing i was still on version 8. if i re-ran the installer it installed the files again, and again, and again,etc and told me everything was fine and ready to go. unbeleivable. f-ckin MS!!!! endless thankyou’s go out to you, my friend!!!!
