Hi, my name is Kelly, and I'm an independent consultant and I'm here to help.

Based on the error logs you provided, it appears that the DirectX web installer is failing to download and install the necessary components for DirectX runtime.

Here are some steps you can try to resolve this issue:

Check your internet connection: Make sure you have a stable and fast internet connection as the web installer needs to download the DirectX components from Microsoft servers.

Temporarily disable your antivirus: Sometimes, antivirus software can interfere with the installation process. Try disabling your antivirus temporarily and run the installer again.

Download the standalone DirectX End-User Runtime: You can try downloading and installing the DirectX End-User Runtime directly from Microsoft's website. Here is the download link: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/detail...

Install DirectX manually: If the above steps don't work, you can try manually installing DirectX by downloading the DirectX software development kit (SDK) from Microsoft's website. Here is the download link: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/detail...

After downloading the SDK, run the setup file and choose the option to install the "DirectX End-User Runtimes". This should install the necessary components for DirectX runtime.

I hope these steps help you resolve the issue.

Answer 2

• What brand and model cpu and graphics processor does your machine use, and what is the source of your game,

disc or download from Steam or other online game retailer ?

• If you still have problems when trying to install\reinstall DirectX using the DirectX Redist (June 2010) linked by Kelly,

try repairing .NET. A corrupt .NET will sometimes generate a DirectX error.

btw - The DX SDK tool is for developers, and and is not likely to benefit in this situation. The DX files are the same

files found in the DirectX Redist (June 2010).
