You can manually check for updates in Windows settings. If the camera software requires a specific version of DirectX, it should be included in the camera's software installation package. Avoid downloading DirectX files from unofficial sources, as this can lead to compatibility and security issues.
I just started receiving the same problem. Started after the latest Reolink upgrade. I installed the DirectX file in the two directories mentioned below, ran as administrator, rebooted my computer and I'm still getting the message. Since I already installed it I click on the "I Got It" [censored]on and the "Live View" don't show up. I then click on "Playback" see that it did save a few videos then I click back on "Live View" and I can see the area the camera is pointing to.
Yes - I get it every time I bring up the Reolink Client. To give you more information about my system. I have 15 Cameras, 6 are connected to a "Remote" location. Three of them are connected to my Garage, 2 to a "Carport" which I have my Tractor in and the other one is on my Driveway. I connected them via the =iUM2RiVBHAo&t=190s video and they are connected directly to my modem that I get my internet from. We are on hughesnet because there isn't any cable out here. The other 9 are connected directly to the NVR. When I first bring up Reolink Client all 15 cameras are blank UNLESS I try to access the 6 cameras directly and they are fine. When I go back and try to view the ones connected to the NVR the "Live View" is still blank. I then go to "Playback" on one of the cameras connected to the NVR and see they do have video stored. I then go back to "Live View" on that camera and the picture is now there. Hopefully I supplied you with enough information to understand my issue.
@nanuk_703854712033447 Thanks for the information provided. And before you upgraded to v8.12.1 you were running which version?
Did you check whether your NVR has the newest firmware? You can check this from Reolink download Center.
Kindly open a ticket with support.
Well, I have tried closing all open programs and installing again but I get the same error. What is error code S1023? I tried Googling, but found many different responses for how to deal with it and I'm not sure what to do.
I've had the same problem twice already and the easiest and most concise solution that I found is located here (in MSDN Blogs -> Games for Windows and the DirectX SDK). However, just in case that page goes down, here's the method:
Note: This issue does not affect earlier version of the DirectX SDK which deploy the VS 2005 / VS 2008 CRT REDIST and do not deploy the VS 2010 CRT REDIST. This issue does not affect the DirectX End-User Runtime web or stand-alone installer as those packages do not deploy any version of the VC++ CRT.
After uninstalling too much on my Win7-64bit machine I was stuck here too. I didn't want to reinstall the OS and none of the tricks worked expect for this registry hack below. Most of this trick I found in an old pchelpforum port but I had to adapt it to my 64-bit installation:
run regedit;open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DirectXThen you must change the following two items:Item 1:Name: Version, Type:REG_SZ, The value should be a rather little number to make the installation success.
Item 2:Name: SDKVersion. But in your machine, the name can be different, for example, it can be ManagedDirectXVersion. But the type should be REG_SZ.Type:REG_SZ, The value should be a rather little number to make the installation success.
Product: Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable - x86 9.0.30729.17. Restart required. The installation or update for the product required a restart for all changes to take effect. The restart was deferred to a later time.
I'm unsure if this is due to TiWorker being too dumb to handle the installation on-the-fly with previous/newer versions already installed, or if perhaps it couldn't have been me with some opened program holding a handle on msvcr90.dll.. anyhow even after some tinkering the only way forward here seemed to reboot.
My issue started when I downloaded Windows 10 and thought that one day i'll install it. HUGE MISTAKE! Long story short I had to use the "Revert to Windows 7 Professional 64bit" function built into Windows 10. This is where is all went wrong, upon rebooting from the Windows 10 revert the keyboard and mouse where "disabled" no keyboard back-light, no mouse, no one home. I tried safe mode, etc, I tried work. I thought I could do a "soft" restore that didn't work. It was just a laptop with a windows 7 login that I could only look at. Even external input devises did not work. So I had no choice other than to do a factory restore, this is where I am today. I should point out that I had Product Design Suite Ultimate (PDSU) 2015 working before Windows 10.
I have a HP ZBook 17 Workstation F3Z04PA, it has two display cards (I think this is what is causing the headache), one is the Intel HD Graphics 4600 and the other is NVIDIA Quadro K3100M (4 GB dedicated GDDR5), according to what I've read so far, you can tell which programs you want to use the Quadro, to what benefit i'm unsure.
you are right, it might be tricky to uninstall it, so use your graphic card driver to run it's updates and then start the DirectX installer from the AutoCAD installer media, either it tells you it's up-to-date or it runs it's installation.
I have run the update on both the Intel and Quadro cards, then ran the standalone DirectX install and still got stuck, although it did seem to get further down the install this time, but ultimately failed. See logs.
Yes the installation is directly off the Autodesk PSDU USB stick, so I assumed it would be good to go. I have also downloaded the equivilant from MS with the same results. I'm about to uninstall Kaspersky Internet Security and will post the results shortly.
I uninstalled Kaspersky, and ran the install from the USB, it finished the install without error. I wanted to check and confirm that this was in fact the cause, as a result of all the deadends and mucking about the past week, I thought it would be best to complete the HP factory restore again, so with done and nothing else installed I tried the PDSU2016 installation process and it worked.
At least, one case more which shows "disable antivirus" as a necessary step before starting the installation. I guess it would not be necessary to uninstall it, turning it off during installation should be ok (let's know if not).
Depending on the version of Windows you're using, you might not be in need of a new version of DirectX. See the section below these steps to confirm that DirectX will work for your computer. If you're not sure which version your computer has installed right now, there are instructions for doing that at the very bottom of this page.
DirectX is a collection of application programming interfaces (APIs) required to play video games on a Windows PC. It allows the games you play to "talk" to your computer's hardware, such as the graphics card, sound card, and memory.
Since DirectX is a necessary part of Windows, there's no official way to uninstall it. But you may be able to roll back to a previous version of it. Open System Restore and choose a restore point that was created before DirectX was updated, then use the DirectX Diagnostic Tool to check and make sure you're on the earlier version.
If you download Microsoft's DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer, it installs a number of runtime libraries from the legacy DirectX SDK automatically. You may need these to run some video games that use D3DX9, D3DX10, D3DX11, XAudio 2.7, XInput 1.3, XACT, and/or Managed DirectX 1.1. Installing this package won't modify the DirectX Runtime already installed on your PC.
Pretty dumb question overall so I apologise in advance. I want to play an older game on Windows 11 (Max Payne 1, RIP James McCaffrey). Since it's really old I used this mega pack that includes a ton of fixes for the game: =1633394421
One of the options was "Option 6a, The install of this file insures all proper directX files are on the system, preventing possible faulty conditions. If already available it will be skipped automatically."
Since I really can't see anything related to DirectX installed in Control Panel's Program and Features, can doing this potentially cause issues in the system? Reason I'm asking is because since this is a semi fresh install, everything is working perfectly and didn't want to cause any issues, not fond of the idea of installing multiple directX runtimes etc, hence my question.
If you run the installer, it will check the versions.. ask Microsoft if there is a newer one, and look very busy probably doing nothing.. it might add functionality but I seriously doubt it. I checked the versions supported AFTER running the installer and it is the same as before.
The Visual C++ Redistributable installs Microsoft C and C++ (MSVC) runtime libraries. Many applications built using Microsoft C and C++ tools require these libraries. If your app uses those libraries, a Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable package must be installed on the target system before you install your app. The Redistributable package architecture must match your app's target architecture. The Redistributable version must be at least as recent as the MSVC build toolset used to build your app. We recommend you use the latest Redistributable available for your version of Visual Studio, with some exceptions noted later in this article.
Unlike older versions of Visual Studio, which have infrequent redist updates, the version number isn't listed in the following table for Visual Studio 2015-2022 because the redist is updated frequently. To find the version number of the latest redist, download the redist you're interested in using one of the following links. Then, look at its properties using Windows File Explorer. In the Details pane, the File version contains the version of the redist.
