Corona Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Okay, I know this has been covered before, but how does one install DirectX updates from FileHippo? The download engine asks to point to a folder location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted February 7, 2009 Moderators Share Posted February 7, 2009 All it wants you to do is unpack into a temporary folder like say "C:\Temp" then you open that folder and run: DXSETUP.exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keithuk Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 These files are Win32 Cabinet Self-Extractor. As already suggested you just run them and choose a location to extract the files too. You can also open them with WinZip if you right-click and select Open with WinZip. Then you just select a folder to unzip the too. As you say this topic as been answered before. The problem I've had with downloading the DirectX 9.0 updates from FileHippo is that they are corrupt. I've tried Microsoft and other vendors but they are the same. After you have extracted them and run DXSETUP.exe it says that files are corrupt contact the vendor so they won't installed. The last version I downloaded of FileHippo that worked was DirectX 9.0c (Nov 07).exe.

But still, it's evil. Damn! You could also repack the setup files into your own SFX archive. I personally make my own WinZip Self-Extractor archive that automatically removes the extracted files once the setup has completed and I've been doing that for years with the DirectX setup.

Moderators Andavari Posted February 7, 2009 Moderators Share Posted February 7, 2009 The problem I've had with downloading the DirectX 9.0 updates from FileHippo is that they are corrupt. Do the MD5 Checksums match on the downloaded file to what FileHippo lists? If not it's getting corrupted on downloading. You can get a free portable MD5 Checksum software from: http://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/winmd5sum_portable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
