oblus Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Hi I have Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2 and updated with new windows patches (from microsoft page). I has DirectX 9.0c (2004) installed but it crashed. So I uninstall him with "DirectX 9 Uninstaller for XP / .NET" (directx-dx9uninstaller), but I don't do this in safe mode and I use the slipstreamed with Service Pack 2 Windows XP Pro installation CD to install from it DirectX 8.1. When I do this, after restart, I couldn't install other DirectX. My friend tell's me I must uninstall Service Pack 2 first to install diffrent version of DirectX. I tried to uninstall it by spuninst.exe, becouse I have installed Windows slipstreamed so I have no uninstall function to Service pack 2 in "Add or Delate Programs.." but there cames me an Error :|. Then I found on web "dx90b_sdk_devruntime.exe" 88MB and he has succesfult installed. But I saw in requiremants for new games I must have DirectX 9.0c. So I tried to install it and it says "everything went OK" but in dxdiag stil have 9.0b not 9.0c? Could someone help me install DirectX 9.0c??i even try to install October version and August version but nothing happened... example:after steam updates my games I can't execute Counter-Strike Source and Half-Life 2 but can execute Half-Life 2: Lost Cost ??! it appears that error: The latest version of Microsoft DirectX® is required to play Counter-Strike: Source. and button OK :| somebody please help!! i want to play whitout reinstalling my windows i know that is a directx installation proble but how to resolve it?!i read on http://www.myappz.tk FAQ:Q: Is there a way to by-pass the uninstall "block" on XPSP2 / 2K3SP1?A: Uh, yes... But I won't give you details on how to do it. The block is there for a reason. However, tech-savvy users should be able to figure it out. Note: DXE 2.0 has NOT been tested on either service pack; forcing an uninstall is not recommended and may produce less than satisfactory results -- YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED !!well? maybe there is someone "tech-savvy user" ?!

oblus Posted November 13, 2005 Author Share Posted November 13, 2005 well i can tell i've did it i have now directx 9.0c after I reinstall him on XP with SP2 ;>it can say I force install him:1. i download a directx-dx9uninstaller and uninstall bad old 9.0c in safe mode2. then i must download and install dx90b_sdk_devruntime.exe to have at lest 9.0b3. then i unpack from directx_9c_redist.exe ManagedDX.cab, BDAXP.cab and dxnt.cab4. I install first mdxredist.msi from ManagedDX.cab, then every .inf from BDAXP.cab, and (for sure) install every .inf from dxnt.cab with dxxp.inf on end!5. now i have after restart 9.0c with 2 little errors in dxdiag (sound errors, never min now, I have sound)6. to be up to date from directx_9c_oct05sdk_redist.exe install .inf files from that same packages .cab as in 4. (without mdxredist.msi, i think)...7. on end I've installed every .inf from August2005_d3dx9_27_x(your processor arch).cab, October2005_xinput_MDX_x86.cab and October2005_xinput_x(your processor arch).cab in directx_9c_oct05sdk_redist.exeafter restart i can play in CSS and HL:LC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
