DirectX 9.0c

Hi I am having problem in installing the version Directx 9.0c redist. I have in my computer version 9.0a. After downloading the directx 9.0c redist.and installed I could not find that it is being installed in I "RUN" dxdiag, it still show the old version. Is there a way to installed it. What have I done wrong and how to correct it. Thanks.

And there are absolutely no errors anywhere, such as in the eventlog etc?

More information is needed, such as O/S etc.

Thanks Silver in the event log I see the following. In the "application" tab, Source >MsiInstaller, Category >none, "Event" tab >1107 and "User" tab >n/a, and latest time log is source=usernv, cat= none, event=1517 and user=system. In "System" tab source = unlocker4, category =none, event=54 and user=n/a. Well I am not sure of what it mean by that as I am not technical to it and I hope it give some clue to it. My OS is windows xp pro 1G.Hz. P3. 524 RAM. I do not know what other things to state for you please ask if required. Thanks and hoping to hear from you.

I wonder if it's the new delivery method.

Try downloading the redist from here and installing:

Have downloaded as mentioned,after installing it,I run dxdiag. result given is DIRECTX 9.0A and in NOTE: the line read 'the file qasf.dll is an old version which can cause problems you should reinstall directx to get the latest version', after that I tried to install the software but it give the same message that say it required the directx latest version. Any further help will be appreciated.

I don't know whether it'll help you or not, sinchee, but try the hint below:
Before installing dx9c change CSDVersion value in registry key
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Windows]
from "CSDVersion"=dword:00000200
to "CSDVersion"=dword:00000100
And then install dx9c.
Good luck.

Thanks for your reply I wish to have more info regarding what you mentioned. As I said I am just medium in tech what I wish to know do I have to save or backup what I am going to change,how to do it. In the registry I find it stated as > name:CSDversion, type: reg dword, data:00000200 (512) (in yours it did not show the number 512) and your suggestion is to change it to 00000100. Can you please tell me how to change I right the csdversion and have this choice > modify,modify binary data,delete and rename which one to select to change it. Well untill to hear from you thanks.
