Hi, i was installing DriectX 9.0b, i began the
installation and then at somepoint an error pops up with
the red circle & X. It said DirectX did not copy a
required fie. I clicked ok and it fails to install. HELP!

Hi Aaron,

I have something you can try. This worked for another customer who saw the
same problem:

1. Download DirectX setup package from the following website:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=a6dee0db-dcce-43ea-
87bb-7c7
e1fd1eaa2&displaylang=en

2. Unzip the files into a temporary folder and then go to the Directx9
folder in
this temporary folder. Double-click the dxsetup.exe file to begin the
installation.

I hope this helps!
