| Cannot Install DirectX Hello, I'm running Vista 32bit Home Premium on a new PC. I can't install DirectX, depite the file coming from the microsoft website and going through the whole GenuineCheck validation process successfully. Trying to run DirectX I get this messageInstalling Components part: 'A cabinet file necessary for installation cannot be trusted. Please verify the Cryptographic Services are enabled and the cabinet file certificate is valid.' So it can't trust something from its own website? Extremely frustrating. If anyone has any ideas, I'd be grateful. |

then I would just right click the file and select run as administrator so long as you are sure the file is legit. | ||||||||||||

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. -- -A. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Re: Cannot Install DirectX These unofficial websites are scary places to get updates from, especially system components and drivers. You really have no idea what you are actually installing here. Did you try the installer already from the MSFT site? http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...lang=en--Chuck WalbournSDE, XNA Developer ConnectionThis posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. |

| Re: Cannot Install DirectX This error indicates that either the .CAB files inside the package are corrupt, or the local system's Cryptographic service is misconfigured in some way. Have you tried the DirectX Web Installer? This should ensure the problem is not due to corrupt files, unless you are actually having hardware failures (like a bad hard disk) causing this problem. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en -- Chuck Walbourn SDE, XNA Developer Connection This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. |
