Re: Latest DirectX Update

Is anyone able to get the latest DirectX Runtime to install? It is dated 11/10/08. After you download the dxwebsetup and click run it sits there and hangs at intializing and times out.

I emailed MS which was utterly pointless.

anywhere, create a temporary folder and after you have extracted, double click the dxsetup.exe file located in that folder. installation will ensue.
