Can anyone help me with this problem?!?!?

 

i found out that i needed to do something with DirectX i tried a fix

Perhaps if you a) posted what "something" you need to do with Direct X and b) what fix did you attempt someone could offer help.

From your screenshot, it appears you are running Windows 10. I found this:

...The issue is that DirectX 9 is considered a 'legacy component'. DirectX 11 is the newest
and the latest that is already pre-installed on Windows 10. You should understand that there are two versions of Windows 10, one being the X86 (32-Bit) version which can handle the 16-bit applications, which is what DirectX 9 is. The other version is the X64.
Unfortunately, the X64 version of Windows 10 does not have the capability to handle the 16-bit applications.

If your Windows 10 is 64 bit, then you can not install DirectX 9.

 

If your Windows 10 is 64 bit, then you can not install DirectX 9.

Hi Liz and PANDANASHI, with Win 10 64 bit, I've found that you can install DX9 if it's included in the course of a re-install of some games...just allow it during the setup.
In my case it messed up my desktop icons, system fonts - kind of a hassle - but allowed me to play the older games.
The scenario being older Tomb Raider and Hitman games from the PC disk, not the likes of online venues such as Steam, etc.

But I had to "go back" and reinstall to DX 11 for more modern applications.

 

But if i cannot install directx 9 how can i install epic games launcher prerequisites update. Last fixes that i seen requied DirectX 9 to fix the problem and yes my win 10 is 64 bit

 

So there is no fix for this thing?

Can u explain it simplier i am not kinda a tech guy or smth

 

This is as simple as it gets

If your Windows 10 is 64 bit, then you can not install DirectX 9.

You are running a 64 bit version of Windows 10. You can not install Direct X 9 so your game launcher will remain broken.

Dammit

 

I think it would help if you let us know which game you're trying to install. I also think @RT's post is a cautionary tale for you, since DX9 may well introduce even more problems to your system.

 

I am trying to install a launcher so i could download games and those games are like Fall Guys Warframe Tomb raider and other
Thats why i want to install but i cannot cause the laucnher keeps crashing

 

Where did you get the Epic Games Launcher from? I'm running it on a 64-bit Windows 10 Pro machine without issue. Try downloading it from here.

So the only fix would be to Reinstall Windows agian?

No, because you'd be reinstalling the 64-bit version of Windows 10 again and, as Liz and RT have pointed out, DX9 won't work properly with that.

In order to understand better what we are dealing with here, please download and run the TSG System Information Utility on the affected PC, and then post the results back to this thread.

 

Colin is your Windows 10 an update from an earlier version of Windows? If so, it might have DirectX9 on it. That's the only thing I can figure out why it works on your computer despite the fact that it says it needs DirectX9 which can not be installed on a 64 bit version of Windows 10.

 

Liz, no, I purchased this machine with Win 10 Pro pre-installed.

 

Thanks. That blows my theory. No explanation as to why yours works and the OP can't get his to work.

 

You're welcome, Liz. Since they haven't answered me, I can only guess they're trying to install some really old version of the program instead of, as I suggested, going to the Epic site and downloading the latest iteration from there.

Well I popped the disk in to install TR3 anew, and during the install accepted the DX9 install requirement, and that's what messed up my computer, user interface-wise, except for the fact I actually could play the game(s)...
Note I was installing from a purchased DVD or CD disk not a download.

To be clear i did have to use a downloaded patch as well....
yeah, that confuses things...

I also think @RT's post is a cautionary tale for you, since DX9 may well introduce even more problems to your system.

I agree with Colin there, for me it wasn't worth the trouble it caused.
It was only fun for an hour or two

 

And that's why I keep older computers around (off the internet) - to play the old games that work on them.

 

Install the DirectX missing files that some with comes in DX9SDK June 2010:
Download DirectX Software Development Kit from Official Microsoft Download Center

 

As @RT mentioned in a previous post for this thread, installing DX9 on a Win 10 machine can cause unintended consequences.

 

This does not install DX9 over DX12 on Windows 10. It installs extra libraries that are sometimes missing from some older games for Windows including Vista,7 and 8.

See DirectX 9 on Windows 10 - Microsoft Community
Install DirectX 9 on Windows 10 for Older Games - VULKK.com

 

I understand but, given the experience RT had, I'm leery about causing additional issues for a user. By all means, if they want to try that then they can assume the risk.

Note that the Web Installer only installs 'missing' files and does not overwrite corrupt files as does the full DX Redist installer.

Another common misconception is that you need to install DX 9.0c to run older DX9 games. Not so. This version has been superseded by the DX Redist (June 2010) which has all of the DX9.0c files, and more. This installer is the best option if DirectX files are corrupted.

Hiya

Let's see what is here first.

Press the Windows key and the R button at the same time, which will open up the Run function, and then type in

cmd

And take note of where the C prompt saves to. On mine, its C:\Users\My Name so, that you can locate the file after.

Then, copy this and then go back to the Command Prompt, and press Ctrl V to paste it in:

reg export "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DirectX" Epic Issue.reg

and press Enter.

Do this again for this key:

reg export "HHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\DirectX" Epic Issue second.reg

And then press the X in the top right as normal.

Now, navigate to the folder that it shows you on the Command Prompt

Right-click on the files (as in slect both together) and select 'Compressed (zipped) folder.

Then upload that here by clicking on the Attachment button:

Thanks

Sadly i dont see the attachment thing BUT i created a discord server and ive put files in it so here is the link: [ edited by a moderator] this server link will never expire

 

Hi PANDANASHI, I have removed your Discord link as all replies must given here in the forum.

 

The attachment isn't a zip file, that looks like a System Information file. I've exlained again below but with more images:

Press the Windows key and the R button at the same time, which will open up the Run function, and then type in cmd:

And take note of where the C prompt is going to save it to. On mine, its C:\Users\My Name so that you can locate the file after.

Copy the below (the full line) and then go back to the Command Prompt, and press Ctrl V to paste it in:

reg export "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DirectX" Epic Issue.reg

and press Enter.

Do this again for this key:

reg export "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\DirectX" Epic Issue second.reg

Now, navigate to the folder that it showed you on the Command Prompt. Like I said, mine is my Users folder, yours may be My Documents etc

Right-click on the files (as in select both together) and select 'Compressed (zipped) folder. And then upload that as an attachment.

The Lines that u wrote doesnt work its just incorrect

 

Can you do this for me:

Type [copy and paste] the following in the Command Prompt@
slmgr /dli
Press Enter on the keyboard
Please post a screenshot of the scan result.

 

 

That says you have a Volume License version of Windows Professional with KMS activation. Legitimate copies of this type of Windows like requires a corporate KMS activation server.
