Finally had the chance to reinstall XP. As I expected it
didn't help. directx.log shows that the progress halted at
the same exact file (msvidctl.dll).
Now I guess I'll have to start waiting for a 9.0c (or
something like that) release of Directx. It's shame though
because several new game demos require directx9
installation. :/ Not a really good performance from MS
side.

I suggest you do a repair install of Windows XP.
Information on how to do
that is here:
http://www.michaelstevenstech.
com/XPrepairinstall.htm Note
that you will need to reinstall all the Windows Update
files, including SP1
unless it comes in your version.

I tried to updated to 9.0b after 9.0a failed and now I
cannot get Dxdiag running anymore. When starting I get
the
following error message:
DxDiag Error
Error: Could not find DXDIAGN.DLL
-----Original Message-----
Go to Start/Run and type in "dxdiag" then hit the OK
button. Post the
results here.

Here are few additions:
1. I restored back to dx 8.1 shipped w/XP and tried
with
dx
9.0a, but received the same problem. Dxdiag started
and
said that I had dx 9 installed. No DX9 application
would
run though (problem with d3d9.dll or something else).
So
I
updated the subject line.
2. I found directX.log from C:/Windows. Ipsink.ax
does
get
installed even though the installation hangs while
the
progress bar shows that particular file. Here's the
tail
of
the log file, if some1 might be able to debug from
there...

I'm having trouble installing directx 9.0b into
fresh
windows XP. I receive the error described in the
knowledge
base article 811263 ( The Software You Are
Installing
Has
Not Passed Windows Logo Testing to Verify It's
Compatibility with Windows XP...), but after trying
all
the
resolution steps in the KB article I still stuck
with
the
same problem. I also went through all the tips
listed
in
teh web page (
http://www.updatexp.
com/cryptographic-service.html) describing the
cryptographic problem in detail, but to no avail.
The setup hangs while the status window says
"copying
apsink.ax". I have been able to revert back to fresh
directx 8.1 which works perfectly well, but after
running
the 9.0b setup either from Windowsupdate or with the
redist-package the process ends in the same spot and
after
that dxdiag doesn't start anymore for example.
Any more clues which I could try?
br,
mikko
