For anybody who have problem with install Directx 9c - easy solution

[unicat13]

I have many times problem with install or update direct x 9c and i find fixing solution for this problem, if anyone have this problem click on windows start icon and typing advanced system and click on view on advanced system settings and then click on Environment Variables, in user variables edit TEMP and TMP default path value, delete default path value and put new c:\Temp for both path and click ok, then direct x 9c install or update will work.
After install If you want edit back old path value for this both path.

Thank you for the tip, will be useful to many tho I never had issues using the default c:\windows\temp.

Just a small correction that I'm sure it's a typo. The folder should be c:\temp and not c:temp Also, it would be good to tell people how to set variables in windows. Not everyone will know how to do it and you can avoid posts asking for that. You can edit your post t add that information too if you like.

Thanks for this tip, as the poster above me said
alot of us would need it to run some older games.
As Cyler explained, I'm one of hose who have no idea how to
set a variable, at least not in technical terms. and I have no qualms
in admitting that.

Is it one of those areas where we have to change a 1 to a 0
or something like that.
Thanks again.

@reddove Since the Original Poster didnt include this, here we go.

• Right-click the Computer icon and choose Properties, or in Windows Control Panel, choose System.
• Choose Advanced system settings.
• On the Advanced tab, click Environment Variables.
• Click New to create a new environment variable.

If you want the variable to be for your User only then use the top New button. If you want it to be system-wide (for all users or even when logged off) use the bottom one.

Hope it helped.
