try and send a screenshot, it will give us a better idea. dx9.0c installs on Windows 7 and 8/8.1 with no problems.

There used to be a link somewhere on the TGC site to the full redistributable but can't find it. Maybe I"m looking in the wrong spot???

@Seditious I've just had to install W7 on my desktop after a hardware failure and encountered similar difficulties. I eventually had to download the DirectX runtime - the so-called web installers didn't work.

Here's the link I used. The download is about 95MB. There may be a smaller download somewhere but this worked for me. The MS description of their web installer seems very misleading to me. I suspect it merely updates existing DX9 installations and therefore does nothing if you haven't already got it.

DirectX Runtimes

Edit Forgot to add that after you've downloaded that file you need to run it and extract the files to a folder of your choice. Then go to the folder, find the dxsetup.exe file and run that. That final step will actually perform the installation of DirectX9.0c. As a final step I then ran the web installer again (just in case a few files needed updating) and now everything works fine.

There ought to be a simpler less convoluted way of doing all this but I couldn't find it.

Gandalf so which is the difference between the dxwebssetup update 2007 and your link updated 2010?
My concern is, when i will end my game, the users on new computers will need to install the directx 9 in order to let my game works, which is the best way to let them have it?
Including the exe installer in the folder and tell them to install that before to start the game?

I don't know the best way - I only know a way which worked for me. I had to use the way I described in my previous post.

Perhaps someone else knows the best way?

I noticed after my previous post that Seditious's link pointed to a slightly different version of "dxwebsetup.exe" then the one I used so it's possible his version performs correctly. I couldn't test it since I'd already got DX9 installed by then.
