DirectX 9.0c December 2005 Version Released

[CivIndeed]

Microsoft has (finally) released directly to end-users an updated version of DirectX 9.0c (December 2005 revision). It is still versioned as "DirectX 9.0c" (unfortunately), but has the additional verbiage of "December 2005" to indicate it is updated with the most recent file and API changes/updates.

For those of you that arent sure whether you have the latest version of of the DirectX 9.0 runtime libraries (or even if you think you do), I highly recommend getting this update. It contains all of the updates previously distributed only through the developer updates through all of 2005 (like those required by Civ 4), as well as Managed DirectX (.NET) updates.

It can be downloaded at:

I just tried installing the DX update, but I can't. I keep getting the same error I got when I first tried installing Civ 4. I get a DX error "A cabinet file necessary for installation cannot be trusted", and the installer quits. I don't know what to do about this.

I found and answer to that awhile ago for someone else, so it should be somewhere on this forum but I'm not going to look for it.
