Not all versions of Windows can run the latest versions of DirectX. If you have Windows 10, then you already have the latest version of DirectX installed. To get the latest version of DirectX for your version of Windows, use Windows Update. We recommend that you select Yes to help ensure that your drivers have been signed by a publisher that has verified their authenticity. The first time you use the DirectX Diagnostic Tool, you might be asked whether you want to check if your drivers are digitally signed. In the DirectX Diagnostic Tool, select the System tab, then check the DirectX version number under System Information. To check which version of DirectX is on your PC using the DirectX Diagnostic Tool, select the Start button and type dxdiag in the search box, then press Enter. If your PC doesn't have the right version of DirectX installed (the product box should tell you which one you need), your game might not work properly.

There will be lots of files in there - run DXSETUP.exe and wait for it to complete the installation. This is a temporary folder only - you can delete these files once the Direct X 9.0c installation has completed. You will be asked where you want to place the extracted files. Double-click on the file once the download has completed.

This latest version of DirectX offers better security, updated graphics, faster frame rates, and support for massively multiplayer games. DirectX 9.0c will help improve multimedia experiences on most PCs.
