When ever I try and run the game: Garry's mod, it says that my Direct X Runtime is out of date. It then takes me to this website.
http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=35
I download the file called: dxwebsetup, but whenever I try to run it and install the software, I get this message:
"Error creating process <C:\DOCUME~1\Gordon\LOCALS~1\Temp\IXP000.TMP\RunMSI.exe>. Reason: C:\WINDOWS\system32\advpack.dll"
Does anyone know how to fix this?
My specs are:
Windows 8, 64bit, 500gb hdd size, 4gb ram, CPU: Intel i3 core 2.50gHz, intel HD graphics 4000
Thanks very much
 
a quick google search of your issue is telling me it might be a version of windows error. For example downloading a x64 version of direct x, when you have a x86 OS... is your os a 32 bit or 64bit (x86 or x64), and are you trying to download the right version of directx?
 


I have NO Idea, i thought that might be the case, so i tried searching for the Direct X Runtime 64bit version, and couldn't find it. You you possibly provide a link if you find it?
