Looking for a bit of help i have a corrupt install of dx9.0c ,try all the removal tools, nothing worked, every time i try to re install dx9.0c it just detects that dx9.0c is already there and just jumps to the finish without copying or installing any files, is there a command line switch to force the install or any other way to do it?

Why do I see people need to installed DirectX?? Windows XP SP2 is already included DirectX 9.0c. so we don't need to install again. Am i right?

That's right. SP2 includes dx9.0c hence why the installer detects it and ends.

Its also the reason why dx9.0c is no longer listed under the apps on the unattended web page.

You need to remember that he might not be installing this on XP, it could be 2000 or lower. Just food for thought.

If it is not XP SP2, then I would look for the directx removal tools posted on the web. Try google. Then install it.

the problem is the beta version off dx9.0c which came with rc2, has older file versions,and certain software will not recognise it as dx9.0c like my rendering kit . the removal tools wont work for dx9.0c .

Still no matter, manually extracting the correct files from the right build of dx9.0c and doing some file moving in dos sorts the problem.
