How satisfied are you with this reply? Thanks for your feedback, it helps us improve the site. In reply to Sathish S V's post on April 1, I've taken your advice and downloaded the update but like many others it scans and then tells me the update is not meant for my system I've had trouble with this for a long time.
Why wasn't Vista SP2 installed years ago? Like I said before I kept getting the message stating that this update wasn't for my computer, I didn't bother with it till I found out I had to have Sp2 to install directX 11, so I went to the Microsoft update page to download the update manually and went from there. It's now installed yet I still can't get directX 11 to install. Unless it didn't install properly. In reply to Jacob. Hoffman's post on April 2, Please answer each of the following [admittedly tedious] diagnostic questions in a correspondingly-numbered list in your very next reply, preferably without quoting my post: 1a.
When approx. Is it a Vista bit or a Vista bit computer? Is Firefox, Chrome or any other alternate browser installed? Have you ever had occasion to do a Repair Install or a clean install of Windows? Hello Jacob, I would suggest you to perform the following troubleshooting Steps: Step 1: I would suggest you to uninstall Windows Vista Service pack 2 from your computer. Note that the DirectX Runtime Direct3D, DirectInput, DirectSound is not part of this package as it is included as part of the Windows operating system, and therefore cannot be installed or uninstalled.
Updating the DirectX Runtime is achieved by installing the latest Service Pack or obtaining a newer version of Windows. The DirectX End-User Runtimes installer contains all of the components installed by the Web Installer in a single package and is recommended for those users that do not have an Internet connection during installation.

Clear instructions. Easy to follow. No jargon. Pictures helped. Didn't match my screen. Incorrect instructions. Too technical. Not enough information.
The core components for DirectX 9. Many of the optional components are regularly updated to integrate customer feedback and expose new features. The DirectX version number, such as 9. Generally speaking, the DirectX version number is not meaningful except as a quick reference to the core run-time bits. This number should not be used to check if the correct DirectX runtime is already installed, because it doesn't take into account the optional DirectX components.
However, these are now released as dynamic-like libraries DLL because of the increased demand for better security practices. DLLs allow servicing of previously released code. If these components were deployed as static libraries, there would be no way for Microsoft to address security issues found after release.
As features are added or changed to the optional components, the names of the corresponding DLLs are also changed to ensure that no regressions are caused to existing games that are using released components.
The DLLs for each component live side by side, and game developers can choose exactly which DLL version that the game uses by linking to the corresponding import library. You can create smaller installation packages for DirectX by stripping the contents of the DirectX redistributable folder down to the minimal set of files required to make the installer work, and retaining any additional components that your game uses.
Depending on your minimum specifications, you might not even need to include the core DirectX 9. The smallest package that can be created is about 3 MB, and it can be compressed to about half that size. Add to these the cabinet files for the components that you want to install.
