Need some help....

[Pleyo]

So, I've a got a new laptop like 3 weeks ago. The laptop didn't have any OS when I bought it, but a guy that knows with computers installed Windows 8.1. Now, the problem is that I can't run any game that requires DirectX 9.0 (or higher) because I can't update DirectX. I tried everything, and I can't run GTA:SA, nor GTA VC. I'm just screwing around Minecraft...

Any suggestions about solving my problem? Is there a way that I can install DirectX manually and not with an installer?

Thanks.

There is no standalone update package for DirectX 11.2. You can only install this DirectX version through Windows Update in Windows 8.1.

did you try to update your Directx version from windows update ?

btw windows 8.1 has in-built Directx version 11.

there are some missing .dll files that prevent directx from working...

+- try running the installer as an administrator. This is pretty much the simplest way to fix shit on Windows.

THere is a Ignore button, Use that.
It happened with me and I ignored that message and still vcmp works fine for me.

I fixed the redist problem, but now the installer for vcmp pops up an error about vcmp-proxy.dll and VCMPBrowser.exe :/

Download here : https://www.sendspace.com/file/e9gdi5
and then paste it in your VC:MP 0.4 installation folder.

What about VCMPBrowser.exe?
