DirectX woes

edited July 2011 in Game Support
DirectX won't install with my Puzzle Agent 2 pre-release. So I downloaded a directX installer directly from microsoft and get the exact same error message, which is:

A cabinet file necessary for installation cannot be trusted. Please verify the Cryptographic Services are enabled and the cabinet file certificate is valid.

I've rebooted, done a full Windows Update, rebooted again.

Help! My Puzzle Agent won't work without this version of Direct X?!?!

    Is the Cryptograhic service enabled via "Services"?

    It should be on Automatic and started.

    If you don't know how to get to services, go to Start, then type in services.msc and press enter.

    If that fails, then try deleting the contents of C:\Windows\System32\Directx\Websetup, and run the DX setup again.

    Note: If you're using x64, then the path will be C:\Windows\SysWOW64\directx.

    It would also be a good idea to delete your temp files as well.

    Further Info.
