Hello,

i solved this problem with installation error DX (Anthem demo)

Download file dxwebsetup.exe from microsoft  ( link...here)

Find installation directory ( cache\AnthemDemo\__Installer\directx\redist\ ) and rename downloaded file (dxwebsetup.exe) to dxsetup.exe and rewrite in directory.

Rerun installer . Some errror is displayed , then click to Ok . Now play game 😃
