Where are you trying to install it from? Windows Update? Please give some
more details and post in microsoft.public.directx.misc

Include what OS you have and current DX, and what DX version you are trying
to install.

Thanks,

If you are talking about "C:\Program Files\directx" (or similar), that
folder is always empty. DirectX is installed into the Windows and
System/System32 directories.

To verify whether DirectX has been installed properly select 'Run' from the
start menue and type 'dxdiag'. Then click OK.

Hi B,

Are these the steps you're trying? If not, give them a try..

1. Shut DL accelerators, firewalls and antivirus programs off before downloading or installing.

2. Download DirectX 9.0b:
http://microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=141D5F9E-07C1-462A-BAEF-5EAB5C851CF5&displaylang=en

3. Double-Click the downloaded file to install it.

4. If you get an error that's it's not LOGO tested, click YES to continue, or...
Click Start / Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Services
Scroll down to "Cryptographic Services", double click it and
change Startup type to: Automatic and click the "Start" button.

If you have any problems, report the specifics of them in a reply to this post.

Hi Josh,

Usually you will see their icon on the taskbar or icon tray, which
you can right click to exit them. Another method would be to
hit CTRL+ALT+DELETE and END Task them in the task manager.

If you're not sure what a program does, you can look it up at:
