FUBAR Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 (edited) I got the following error message during the upgrade installation for 7.0 stable. The download was taking a while so I stepped away from my computer and when I returned I found this error on the screen. The application still launches fine and I'm not seeing any problems but figured I'd ask if I should do anything. I assume this is when the elevated prompt to install DX was there but possibly timed out? Can I run the stable install over top of my current installation again? Thanks!

CTRL-ALT-DEFEAT Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 (edited) If your DirectX is already up-to-date, you can ignore it. Chances are good you are already up-to-date anyway if you play a lot of current PC games as the installers always include the DirectX End-User Runtime for whatever version of DirectX the game uses (80% of the time DX9). I'm not absolutely certain about this, but I don't think LB/BB uses DirectX for anything other than it's Xinput/DInput APIs anyway and I'm pretty sure it's using DX9, which hasn't been updated since 2008 (when Xinput and XAudio2 were added, if I remember right), but I could be wrong on the version. You could re-install the LB update again or just download the DirectX End-User Web Installer directly from Microsoft, if you just want peace of mind about it. The error was likely caused, as you figured, by not accepting at the UAC pop-up. Edited December 17, 2016 by CTRL-ALT-DEFEAT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FUBAR Posted December 19, 2016 Author Share Posted December 19, 2016 Thanks for the reply CAD, you're right I'm likely already on the latest DX9 so I'll just wait it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
