DirectX Setup Error: Cabinet file not signed

I am trying to install C&C 3 Tiberium Wars and Kane's Wrath. I downloaded through origin, and the install gets to about 25 % then I get an error message that says: DirectX Setup Error: Cabinet (.cab)...

1) Go to the folder you've installed Origin Games in (by default, C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games

2) Inside of the Ultimate Collection folder, go to the install folder and then the DirectX folder.

3) Click on the redist folder and send it to the Recycle Bin with the Delete key. [Make sure to take a backup!]

4) Go into Origin, try to install again, and then when given the option to repair the game, do so. It will redownload all those files that just got deleted, and for me, this time they came properly signed.

5) The game should install properly.

Found a faster way but it may not apply to everyone. If you previously downloaded a game and was successful in installing it, you can check if the installer has the "redist" folder. If it does, just copy that folder over to the game you are having issues installing directx on and it works. That way you can skip a couple of steps and get your game going.
