Thanks for your message.
I downloaded the file you mentioned and the install failed. I am attaching the log as well as a screen capture from dxdiag command.
Hope you can provide guidance on what to do next so I can fix this issue
@leon_trotzky Well, did you look inside the logs?
The directx.log doesn't actually seem to contain any error messages; it just shows the component is apparently already installed.
The DXError.log seems to complain about being unable to load the "C:\Windows\system32\xactengine2_0.dll" library. Did you check if the mentioned file exist on your system?
Note that this is a 32-bit game, so it might actually be looking for this "xactengine2_0.dll" inside "C:\Windows\SysWOW64", which is the 32-bit compatibility folder for system32. I have the library in both locations, but the file sizes are diffferent (348kb for system32, 225kb for sysWOW64), since one is the 64-bit version and the other the 32-bit version.
(I really don't understand why they didn't just call the folder "system64" on 64-bit systems. Calling the 32-bit compatibility folder something with "64" in the name is extremely confusing)
