As per the Microshaft website:

•DirectX 11.2 is included in Windows 8.1, Windows RT and Windows Server 2012 R2.
Note There is no standalone update package for DirectX 11.2. You can only install this DirectX version through Windows Update in Windows 8.1, Windows RT and Windows Server 2012 R2.

In addition to that your card may not support that version. What are your system specs including the model numbers of your motherboard and GPU card?

hi. Download it from this page. http://offlineinstallersoft.blogspot.com/2014/04/downla... the full install file is 572 meg


Well, apparently once again the right hand of Microshaft does not know what the left hand is doing and can't even provide accurate information about their own products. Go figure. It still may be unsupported by his or her card depending on the model and version though.

It's a GTX 780, I don't know what the highest level of Direct X that it supports is

It seems it does not support it but I guess that might depend on the model. What is the brand and model of the card. GTX 780 is only the chipset, not the model.

More like the tool that wrote that blog post doesn't know what they are doing. The links provided are for the DirectX SDK, not the runtime distribution.

Yeah, officially it only supports DirectX 11.1 but my understanding is that many DirectX 11.2 features are supported, just not advertised.

I agree. A lot of times you can only find specifications that indicate such and such is supported for a given piece of hardware because that's all there was at the time, and nobody bothered to update the documentation or white papers after newer AND supported tech was released. So it may be possible it supports it even though it doesn't "officially" support it.
