when i start to install it from microsoft.com it said i need a validation and its required, although mine says ive failed that and i need to contact the sellers of my computer

This clearly means that the problem is with validation not with DirectX.
And how are you so sure that the copy of Windows you got is genuine?
Did you tried validating through How to tell?

And for requirements, DirectX is fine on any system with the following configuration


Operating System


Microsoft Windows® 98, Windows Millennium Edition (Windows Me), or Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP.

Hard Disk


Approximately 65 megabytes (MB) of available space for installation. Once installed, you can delete the installation files. The remaining DirectX files use approximately 18 MB of hard drive space. If you had an earlier version of DirectX installed on your computer, you will see little difference in used space on your hard drive. DirectX 9.0 will overwrite the earlier versions.

I HAVE A SOLUTION!

Well it worked for me anyway.

You need both the 9.0b and 9.0c full versions. both around 30Mb each. Unzip both to respective temp folders. then copy and paste the following from 9.0b to 9.0c:

dxsetup
dsetup32.dll
DSETUP.dll

next you need a direct x uninstaller. i used dx eradicator from majorgeeks.com, bu there are plenty around

once done simply run dxsetup in the 9.0c version (which would be the one you copied before right) and it will install using the files from the folder it is in. and there you go you have installed directx 9.0c.

please email at camomanliveshere@hotmail.com to tell me if it worked for you, since i wanna know if i fluked it for sum crazy reason...

I wanted to reinstall DirectX 9.0c but when I ran the setup the thing immediately completed, in other words, it did nothing!

The above solution worked, although minor adjustments:

If you don't want to use the DirectX Installer: Just delete the registry "folder" at: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DirectX

Don't worry about the other direct draw, ect. folders.

Another solution that might work: Sounds like DirectX was included SP2 so, reinstalling it, may also fix the problem.... have no idea if this will work, found out after fixing with above solution.
