DirectX 9 Setup error creating process. Help!

Royvds · Nov 19, 2014

I recently reinstalled my Windows 8.1 pro because i had a broken system reserved partition, one of my games needs DirectX 9 (else it will give an error) but when i try to install DirectX 9 i get this error:

I can play Halo (which requires DirectX 9) without installing DirectX 9 on Windows 8.1.
Maybe the DirectX setup you have is corrupted?

It has something to do with advpack.dll in windows system32 folder

From your image, you seem to have some or all of your Windows install on the D drive.
Why is this?

I changed the temp folders to keep the writes to the ssd to its minimal

Royvds :

You don't really need to do that.
Change it back and see what happens.

USAFRet :

What are the original locations again?

USAFRet · Nov 21, 2014

Royvds :

There are 'many' temp folders. Which one(s) did you change?

C:\Windows\
C:\Windows\WinSxS\
\AppData\Local\
others...

Thx bro, its fixed now! you're the best, but are you sure this won't decrease my ssd's lifespan ?

USAFRet · Nov 21, 2014

Royvds :

Current consumer grade SSD's will last years/decades in normal use.
My current C drive (Kingston HyperX 3k 120GB) has 6.9TB total writes, in 2+ years of 24/7 operation.

Endurance tests have shown that and similar SSD's to last well beyond 800TB total writes.
