Updating DirectX
Applicable Versions: ALL
To update DirectX, follow the instructions below to select which method you wish to use (Web installer, or the redistributable version)
Recommendations:
For Windows XP, use the Web install method.
For Windows Vista and 7 (this also applies to later Windows versions), the redistributable method should work fine, if not, use the Web Install method.
I also have a utility that can automate the download and installation of the redistributable version - the bottom link will give you access to this. Note that the tool must be run as administrator in Windows Vista or later, and Norton users may have problems downloading and using the tool. Further details on the automated version can be found on the Trainz Discussion Forums at http://forums.auran.com/trainz/showthread.php?93435-New-Utility-DirectX-Install-Helper-Utility-(DXInstallHelper).
