Directx :"cabinet file cannot be trusted"

Hello

First timer here. This is fyi ...
I too had above prob -trying to update directx .
The link below somewhere has 4 methods to try- reboot after each one to determine right method. Then install directx.

I have Winxp on sp1.
Downloaded dxwebsetup zip file.


Refer... https://www.techspot.com/vb/all/windows/t-18771-Direct-X-90c-Problem.html

What worked for me was..

****
1. Go to start menu, then Run
2. Type in cmd
3. Type the following, pressing enter after each line. (press OK if prompted)
regsvr32 /u softpub.dll
regsvr32 /u wintrust.dll
regsvr32 /u initpki.dll
regsvr32 /u dssenh.dll
regsvr32 /u rsaenh.dll
regsvr32 /u gpkcsp.dll
regsvr32 /u sccbase.dll
regsvr32 /u slbcsp.dll
regsvr32 /u mssip32.dll
regsvr32 /u cryptdlg.dll
exit

THEN

Restart the computer.
Go to start, then run.
Type in cmd.
Type the following, pressing enter after each line:

regsvr32 softpub.dll
regsvr32 wintrust.dll
regsvr32 initpki.dll
regsvr32 dssenh.dll
regsvr32 rsaenh.dll
regsvr32 gpkcsp.dll
regsvr32 sccbase.dll
regsvr32 slbcsp.dll
regsvr32 mssip32.dll
regsvr32 cryptdlg.dll
exit

******
Try using one of methods I'm sure there's a fix 4 ya sumwhere.
Let me know when you've sorted it.

Note: I found running directx setup from pc while offline produced a msg during install "no connection to internet.." appeared -once connected the install completed successfully. So if u eventually get this msg u know that the "cabinet.." error has been resolved.

You need to install service pack 2 in order to install DirectX 9.0C, when you install service pack 2 9.0C is automatically installed.
