Direct X End-User Runtime must be installed - Luke™ - 2015-09-07 09:52

I've just got a new pc with windows 10, and when I tried to run LFS it said I needed to download DX9. I downloaded it but it failed to install? I don't know what to do, please help.

Thanks, Luke

I have downloaded this and it says the download has failed.

EDIT: It says 'Internal system error occurred'

Got a screenshot? Or logs?

I do not know how to find the error logs.

RE: Direct X End-User Runtime must be installed - Frozen - 2015-09-07 12:53

Go to

C:\WINDOWS

And scroll down, there should be the log.

Also, did you run windows update?

RE: Direct X End-User Runtime must be installed - Chuck - 2015-09-07 12:56

Well, the text says "in your Windows folder". What about looking there?

Error log:

Windows is up to date.

Do you have .NET Framework installed? 2.0, 3.5 , 4.0 , 4.5?

RE: Direct X End-User Runtime must be installed - Luke™ - 2015-09-07 13:06

Yes, I don't know which version though, I would assume 4.5 as I got this computer yesterday brand new.

RE: Direct X End-User Runtime must be installed - Chuck - 2015-09-07 13:14

Can you upload those log files somewhere?

Some other random ideas:
Tried running as admin?
Tried deactivating anti-virus?

I have tried running it as admin, and I deactivated my antivirus.

This is the error LFS comes up with:

Well,

I've read that if you have Direct X 10,11,12 or any higher version it should work for lower versions too. Tried any other game which runs on Direct X 9? Maybe it's an issue of LFS istelf not being able to detect your Direct X version because you are missing a .dll file?

RE: Direct X End-User Runtime must be installed - Luke™ - 2015-09-07 13:56

Yes, I played CIV V directx9 version and it worked, I've also played ETS2 fine.

I am not good with computers so I don't know how to fix a .dll missing file.

Run the installation file in Safe Mode / Safe Mode w/ Networking

Try this setup: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109

Wierd tho, I did install Win10 aswell, I've seen the exact error message when starting LFS, I've done what it said and I don't recall having any issues with it.

Thank you all for helping, it is now fixed. I went into the temp folder, and opened DXSETUP, and it installed some things that I think were missing. Sorry for being a pain, as I am pants with pc's.

Thanks, Luke Smile
