DirectX setup error: The cabinet (.cab) file is not signed

every time I try and install dead space 3 I get an error at 25% saying that "DirectX setup error: The cabinet (.cab) file is not signed", I tried deleting the redist folder and reinstalling but it just says "error a redistributable package (directX) was not installed successfully. setup cannot continue. (false)" does anybody have a solution for this?

Okay i know what to do now.
You have to go to where your orgin games are. Default: C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games
Then you have to delete the Dead Space folder.
Then relog origin or log in.
Redownload dead space 3 and install.
That's how i got my dead space 3 working.

Hi All,

DirectX 9.0c is required to play DS3. This can be downloaded from here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-ie/download/details.aspx?id=34429
