Re: Error: A redistributable package (DirectX) was not installed successfully.
Ah, that. The problem with manual install is probably that these are not the latest DirectX components; they are components from around the time the game was released. Apparently the modern DirectX is missing some of these old features. Try if this works:
- Download the DirectX Redistributables package from June 2010. Be sure to uncheck any other junk they want to add to it. It should be a file called "directx_Jun2010_redist.exe".
- Run the downloaded file. It'll ask for a folder to unpack in. Make a new folder somewhere on your disk and unpack it there. It doesn't matter where you unpack it; it can be deleted afterwards anyway.
- Go to the folder where you told it to extract.
- Find "DXSETUP.exe", and run that to install the missing components.
- After the installation finished, delete the folder you unpacked everything in.
