Solve : Directx 9.0?

Answer» <html><body><p>Hello, I am having trouble installing directx 9.0. I am trying to install need for speed most wanted and when I try to install directx 9.0 off of the game cd I get an error saying "directx did not copy a required file" and when I try to install directx 9.0 febraury sdk then I get the error -5. I am running windows xp pro.I even tried this <a href="https://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=891890">http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=891890</a> but dxxpdbg does not exist.Maybe you should download DirectX from Microsoft: <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/default.aspx?url=/windows/directx/downloads/default.htm">Microsoft DirectX Downloads</a>I did, but I downloaded it again from your link and it downloaded nicely, went to install started and then "directx did not copy a required file".I have service pack 1 installed if that helps.Why not go ahead and upgrade your OS to SP2? That, in itself, may fix the problem. Even if it does not, you're better off with SP2.Because after installing ps2 in our lab computers at school and also friends have reported the same, sp2 causes all kinds of headaches.I followed these steps and I am almost there.<br/>Try these steps mate <br/><br/>1. Delete the folder CatRoot2 from C:\Windows\System32 (if Windows XP) or <br/>C:\WINNT\System32 (if Windows 2000).<br/>2.The DirectX folder under C:\Windows\System32 (if Windows XP) or <br/>C:\WINNT\System32 (if Windows 2000).<br/>3. The {44BBA855-CC51-11CF-AAFA-00AA00B6015C} folder under <br/>C:\WINDOWS\RegisteredPackages (if Windows XP) or <br/>C:\WINNT\RegisteredPackages (if Windows 2000).<br/><br/>Try the installation of DirectX and it will succeed<br/><br/><br/>Now it installs directx BUT at the final end like right when its 100% it fails and says check the log so I did and it is error -9. And according to the error code list from Microsoft <br/>-9<br/>(INTERNAL) Setup detected an internal error. There are only two situations known to cause this error message: • Dsetup.dll could not load the Dsetup32.dll and Dsetup16.dll files. <br/>• Setup attempted to call a unicode version of Setup Advanced Programming Interfaces (APIs), which are not implemented. <br/>If you receive this error message, rename the Dsetup16.dll and Dsetup32.dll files. To do so, follow these steps: 1. Click Start, point to Find, and then click Files Or Folders. <br/>2. Type the following line in the Named box, and then click Find Now: <br/>dsetup16.dll <br/>3. Click the file, and then click Rename on the File menu. <br/>4. Change the name to a .dxx extension. The file name should <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/read-619994" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about READ">READ</a> as follows: <br/>Dsetup16.dxx <br/>5. Repeat steps 2-4 for the Dsetup32.dll file. <br/>6. Reinstall DirectX. <br/><br/>I searched for dsetup16.dll and found nothing while dsetup32.dll came up with 4 results and still searching. I will continue and see what happens. If this works I will be able to help alot of people looking for help on this topic in other places.
