Windows 10 comes with DirectX 11 and 12. It does not inlcude DirectX 9.0 which older games require. Here are instructions on how to install DirectX 9 and DirectPlay DirectX 9 and Direct Play on Windows 10.

Download and run this: Download DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer from Official Microsoft Download Center
EDIT: Although you tried before, first Re-register advpack.dll . At an elevated Command Prompt run regsvr32 advpack.dll

 

hi,

when i run regsvr32 advpack.dll in elevated command prompt i get 'The module "advpack.dll" was loaded but the entry-point DllRegisterServer was not found. make sure that "advpack.dll" is a valid DLL or OCX file and then try again

thanks

Before going further, are you authorized to make changes on this computer or is it a company unit?

Make sure you're in Admin account when attempting the installs.

 

Hi,

when i try to run Download DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer from Official Microsoft Download Center i get an error 'An internal system error occurred. Please refer to DXError.log and directx.log'

in DirectX.log it has the line 'CDXWSetup::InitInstallEngine(): SetAction() failed, error = 0x80070057.'

in dexrror.log it has the line '
Failed API: SetAction()
Error: (0x80070057) - The parameter is incorrect.'

thanks

 

What is the software you're trying to install? We seem to be in a conundrum between old DirectX and a modern OS. Knowing what the software is, we can be of more help unless it's so old that nothing can make it work (short of DOS ).

Make sure advpack.dll actually exists in c:\Windows\System32.

yes its exists

In an elevated Command Prompt,run this
for %x in (c:\windows\system32\*.dll) do regsvr32 %x
Afterwards, try the install again.

 

still the same issue. when it comes to registering advpack.dll i get the error ' the module "advpack.dll" was loaded but the entry-point DllRegisterServer was not found.

make sure that "advpack.dll" is a valid DLL or OCX file and they try again

Wow, got me stumped. Hopefully someone with some other ideas will drop in here soon ...

 

Press Windows key + X, then select Device Manager.

 

What game are you trying to play? Is it installed? If installed, find the directory where it's installed. In that game directory, search for dxsetup.exe. This will be the DX specific to that game. If you locate it, right-click it and run as administrator.

Let us know.

Also, if you have an active Anti Virus, temporarily stop the real-time protection and retry the install.
