    Step By Step For Dummies:

    1. Create Temp folder (doesn't matter where, you can delete it when you're done.
    2. Download the directx_Jun2010_redist.exeinto said temp folder
    3. Run directx_Jun2010_redist.exe by double-clicking
    4. Box will pop up asking for a location in which to extract the install files (starting to get it?)
    5. Input "C:..." path to your Temp folder and confirm (If you cant find the pathway, open the Temp folder and copy the address bar as input)
    6. After extraction is complete, Temp folder will be filled with around 157/158 archive files, two .dll files, the directx_Jun2010_redist.exe you just ran and ONE other .exe (should be something like "DXSETUP.exe") if you cant see it, click on the fille type column header to re-sort untill the .exe and .dll files are at the top (NO MORE THAN TWO CLICKS!!!)

    7)Run DXSETUP.exe

    8)Follow step by step wizard to complete setup (won't ask for anything technical and if you fsck this part up you need to step away from the computer)

    Delete Temp Folder if desired (like I said, no baring on the product after installation is complete)

    1. Congrats, now go play that game you've been itching for ;)

    Hope this helps; even my most negligent and un-trustworthy users can do this now :)

    edit:

    really cant believe that Microsoft's left this unanswered, found it solved on Yahoo of all places when doing thorough search!!!

    A little more info:

    The 'directx june 2010' file is a compressed (zipped) archive, so it's asking for a folder to extract its files to. It's probably simplest to just extract to the same folder you downloaded it to (or create a new folder in the folder you downloaded to and extract to that; then use the browse button or type in the folder path from the address bar (replace arrows with '/') to tell it to extract to that folder).

    Clicking on the folder you extracted to, you see a lot of files (157, I think). The one file you're interested in is DXSETUP.exe. Click on this to install the update.

    And you're done (you may now delete the extracted files, including the new folder if you created one to extract them to, and the directx june 2010' archive you downloaded).

    Trying to install the latest directx. Once you download the june2010 redist. it askes where to extract the files to. I do not know either, I'm guessing a temp folder on the desktop for easy find?
