DirectX 9.0c Installing Over DirectX11 Problem on Win7

[thetruth18750]

could someone help me on this. a few days ago i upgraded From XP to Windows 7 Beta 7048.
and i have not been able to successfully install DirectX9.0c. over the already installed DirectX 11.
has any one else experienced this problem. with Windows 7 beta 7048. because since i installed Windows 7 on my computer.
i am not at all able to play any DirectX 9.0c or DirectX10 PC Games. each time i attempt to install Directx9.0c during installation it is not able to complete. or even start installing. on the windows 7 beta 7048 could someone help explain what i need to do to get this working.
properly also i have an ATI Radeon HD3650 if that helps any.
i'm thankful for any help thats given that may put me in the right direction.
for solving this problem thanks

I was having this issue with missing DX9 files on Win7. I couldn't even install my video card drivers being that its a DX9 Card.

I installed Modern Warfare 2 and it fixed everything LOL. I would think that almost any recent game would do the same.


From the above comments, I take it the redistributable dx9 components were automatically installed.


Thanks.

You do not need to install DX9.0C. DX11 is a superset of DX10.0/10.1, both of which are backwards-compatible with DX9.0C in the sense that DX9.0C software and hardware can run non-DX10/11 code. For this reason you do not install DX9.0C on Vista either, as it is "emulated" (for lack of a better word).

EDIT: Actually I'm not sure if DX9 and DX10 on Vista run side-by-side or if DX9 libraries run as an extra layer in the hyerarchical API mess.

But you need DirectX 9.0 for certain games, they will NOT run on Version 11, or 10, unless version 9 is already installed before 10 or 11 are. Ex: Neverwinter Nights 1&2.

I found the same problem when playing with NFS undercover and Call of Duty 4 on Windows 7. The game keep asking me for d3xd9_34.dll and xinput1_3.dll.
I got them running by manually copying d3xd9_34.dll and xinput1_3.dll to game installation directory.
They're working fine now!

I TOO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. DIRECT X IS NOT THE PROBLEM. ITS THE VIDEO CARD. THERE IS APROBLEM WITH SOME ATI HD CARDS. IS HAS SOMETHING TO DO SCREEN RESOLUTION SETTINGS IN WINDOWS 7.
I HAVE NEW CONP(12/24/2010) WITH ATI HD4350. E-MAILED ATI ABOUT IT, AND THEY SENT ME A LIST OF IFO TO FIND AND SEND BACK.HAVE NOT DONE YET. HOPE THIS HELPS.

Yes I have also experienced this problem. I recently bought the sims 2 for my new computer that runs off of windows 7. I have had no problems till I try to play my game. It pops up and says that I need directx 9.0c or better. I have downloded from brother share and still it does not take for some reason ? I am going to try and change me resolution if I come across anything that works I will try and post !

hello all...

i did too experience this issue. after searching the internet i came up with this thread direct me to microsoft download page:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=2da43d38-db71-4c1b-bc6a-9b6652cd92a3&displaylang=en


its a 281kb file that will download the rest of the installation file. after download it will selfinstall (or u will need to install it, i dont remember) and it will install all the missing DLL files.

after this, all games r running perfectly on my windows 7 64bit OS.

good luck

Hi,

Go to the site

http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?d3dx9_34

and download the file. It's free and the installation instructions are given there.

I had the problem when I was playing Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare. I downloaded the file from this site and followed the instruction there plus copied the file to the folder where the CoD4 exe was.

I run Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. The game runs without a problem.

I hope that was useful.

Thanks

you shouldnt even use win 7 beta anymore.
Do a clean win 7 install.

i just got the sims 2 double deluxe. i succeded with download, however when i went to play it said i did not have DirectX 9.0c. so, i went to microsoft and tryed to download it. to make a LONG LONG story short, I tryed to download every version of directX had to offer, and still could not play sims. i restarted the computer millions of times. I un-loaded sims and reloaded it. i did everything i could, and yet whenever i go to downlaod directX 9.0c and it says it ws succesfull, i still cant play sims, and it still says i dont have directX 9.0c.
