Odd, never heard of this before. Only guess is that the CAB file got
corrupted during download. I assume you're running DXWEBSETUP.EXE which
downloads the files you need and installs them, right?

You might want to clear your temp files, if a corrupted CAB file is on
your system and the DXWEBSETUP program doesn't try to re-download the
file, it'll just keep having this same problem. Clearing out those files
then running DXWEBSETUP again may help.

Right-Click your C: drive from Computer window and choose properties.
Click Disk-Cleanup

Make sure Temporary Files are checked and follow the prompts to delete
said files.

Try running DXWebSetup.exe again. You might want to download the file
from Microsoft.com/directx, just in case.

If that does not help I have no ideas other than to wait here for help,
or go to Microsoft.com and put in the error message into the search bar.
See if there's a kb article about this message.
