| 1191324 | 2011-04-02 00:40:00 | Hi Following on from here (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz) I've downloaded a 95MB .exe file from the M$ Download site following Speedy's link and when I run it, it produces the attached message. Just so I don't stuff things up, where do I want to put the extracted files? Is this the actual installation happening or is it just unpacking stuff which I then have to go thru' another step to install? :confused: Thanks |

Then run the dxsetup file. Youre right it needs to be unpacked to run it. It's MS. It'll be too easy to run the install file once to install anything :p They'll rather take the long way and get you to run files twice |

Once unpacked, you open the folder, locate and double click on DXSETUP.exe to start the install. |

| 1191330 | 2011-04-02 02:42:00 | Glad it worked out. I think you may have done the advanced way for pros, the easier way is with the web installer (www.microsoft.com) which is a small download and will check your system and only pull down the bits you need. cheers W |
