Hey there! I'm trying to get DirectX 9 on my Win2k rig, I've copied the files off a cd and when I go to run the install, it does...nothing. I click, run from command prompt, whatever. It just does nothing, show nothing in task manager, etc.

I made sure the installer service is running, and I tried repairing the OS installation from the CD.

It is a nearly vanilla install of Win2k with DirectX 7, and official chipset and Intel Extreme Graphics 2 drivers from the hardware manufacturer

Machine is a Dell B110 with a stock Celeron D (for now) and 2GB DDR-400 ram

So now what?

The official last ver of DirectX for 2000 is directx_feb2010_redist.

it's a self-extracting .exe and then you just run dxsetup.exe
It can also be extracted with 7-zip
