New DirectX update Nov. 08?

There is what looks to be a November 08 update to DirectX, but on three different machines I have not been able to get the dxwebsetup.exe to work. Every time I run the executable I get -


“Installing components: Initializing…”, then “Setup could not download the file. Please retry later or check network connection”.


The redistributable is still showing Aug. 08.

Anyone have any ideas?

I get the same error when doing the web update. I'll just wait until they release the redist.

Thanks for the response.

At least now I know I’m not the only one. May be this is a sign that the Nov. 08 redistributable will be released sometime this week.

This is why the webupdate doesn't work.

This update appears to be problematic to install. Microsoft has removed the update
