Same issue -- is there a resolution? Game won't run because it can't
find d3dx9_27.dll. tried to install from microsoft the new directx --
can't install because 'A cabinet file necessary for installation
cannot be trusted. Please verify
the Cryptographic Services are enabled and the cabinet file
certificate is valid"
what now?
Termporarily turn off UAC and any AV anti malware software you have running
then try to install again. I've never had any issue updating Directx on my
Vista64 PC so it has to be due to some anti malware software you have
running. To quickly turn off UAC type msconfig into the search or run box
and then go to the tools tab. You will see there options to turn off UAC
and to turn it back on. Selct to turn it off and reboot the PC, UAC is now
disabled. After you get Directx update installed turn it back on. Or you
could try selecting to run the directx update file as administrator by
right clciking the fiule and selecting administrator. That may solve the
issue for you without turning off UAC.
