There is a software called "DirectX Happy Uninstall"......It is available for download at:

hmm, DirectX is an essential component of windows, better not uninstall & reinstall

this happens when u already have the latest version of directx 9 installed, & only a few files are needed to be update, like the decembar 2005 DirectX 9c update installed in only 2 seconds for me, as only 7 files were needed to update

try downloading & installing full directx 9c decembar 2005 redist, or u can also web install it

then go to start ->run -> type dxdiag , & in the next screen note the version of directx u got, it should be 4.09.0000.0904

There should be a file called directx.log in your %windir% (windows directory) that may provide some clues as to what went wrong with setup. Please post it if possible... And as Saurav pointed, check with dxdiag for exact version information.

BTW, Win XP Sp2 automatically should update your system to DirectX9.0c. If you have problems with your DirectX 9.0c install you'd probably have to uninstall and then reinstall the Service Pack in order to "reinstall" DirectX 9.0c.

here is an application which removes directx from system uneed to folliw the instructions carefully


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
<< DirectX 9 Uninstaller for XP / .NET >>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This uninstaller uses your original XP or .NET CD to restore your original DirectX 8 files.
Extract these files to C:\DXTEMP! You must extract these files to this directory and run
the UnDx9.bat that uninstalls the DIrectX files in SAFE MODE. Enjoy!

here is the link

TRUST ME

I have faced the same prob. The prob is that u can't install d 9.c until u remove d 9.b. U have to remove d 9b by installing directx buster. After that intalls d 9c. If it doesn't work us directx happy unintaller to install di 9c by showing the path where direct9.0csetup.exe is located.
