Installation Fails on DirectX issue 4294967281
I can't finish installing the game, I keep having this issue with the directX. I tried to delete all the cab files and running again, didn't help. Any idea how to solve it?

Same here: See my info
When the EA app is trying to install Dragon Age: The Veilguard, the installation of DirectX is failing when the EA app runs touchup.
EA error:"Error: A redistributable package (DirectX) was not install successfully. Setup cannot continue. (4294967287)."
Then DirectX Setup error: "Invalid command line switch."
Then EA Error: "Installation failed. The final stages of installation didn't go as planned. Try again in a little bit."
Last lines of the Install.log:
16:50:01 Start redistributables install phase
16:50:01 Started DirectX Install Phase
16:50:01 Launching process:
Command: "E:\Games\Dragon Age The Veilguard\__Installer\directx\redist\dxsetup.exe" /silent

16:50:09 Installer finished with exit code: 1

The above says to check the DirectX.log files, but no new entries were added during the installation.
I have run the DXSetup command manually as administrator and it worked fine. I have already downloaded and run the dxwebsetup from Microsoft and no issues. I have cleared the EA app cache. Rebooted. Attempted to re-download the game to install. All of this did not get rid of the error. I have had this issue before with installation of EA games, so I could never install them. I have seen many posts on-line about this issue but there seems to be no documented resolution.
