DirectX missing a bunch of .dll files?

[MEESTER SoupCan]

I had my computer wiped due to a crapton of Viruses. I get the computer back, and try to install my games again, when it gets to installing DirectX, it either says I'm missing D3DX9_4# (# being a number) or it just wants me to check DXError.log and DirectX.log. I need to find some way to get this fixed. I tried a bunch of things.

Reinstall DirectX from Microsoft's website and choose Repair.

So use the install.

It should get the files you're missing.

It doesnt, it just gives me an error saying to Refer to DXError.log and DirectX.log

What version of Windows are you using?
What are the games you are trying to install/run?

Download the DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35

Check under your game folders (for example: Steam\steamapps\common\game-name) for folders titled "_CommonRedist". If it has that, look under "DirectX", "DotNet", "vcredist", or whatever folders are there, running those EXE installers. For example: DXSETUP.exe or vcredist_x64.exe (use x64, if 64-bit OS, else it's x86 for the 32-bit version).

For the sake of convinience, and staying under the character limit, i'm putting the text logs in dropbox:

DXError.log: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1cozsfqaq41rjgp/DXError.log?dl=0

DirectX.log: https://www.dropbox.com/s/xu166kp0dj0ac4s/DirectX.log?dl=0

Ensure your Microsoft login account has admin rights.

Consider running CCleaner (this will help clean out all junk/temp/cache files):
https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download

Or going under your temp folder and manually cleaning it out:
C:\Users\Andrew\AppData\Local\Temp\

Reboot your PC.

Under your Steam library > right-click Team Fortress 2 > Properties > Local files (tab) > verify game files.

It's claiming the file is damaged:
C:\PROGRA~2\Steam\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\_CommonRedist\DirectX\Jun2010\Dec2005_d3dx9_28_x64.cab. The file may be damaged.

Next browse the files and go under the folders: _CommonRedist\DirectX\Jun2010\

If available, right-click the EXE under that and "Run as Administrator".

If not, then attempt using an online copy of DirectX End-User Runtimes (August 2009):
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=6883

If it's not admin rights, then your anti-virus scanner might be denying the EXE for running under your temp folder. What anti-virus scanner are you using?

IOBit and AVG

Go to your directory: C:\Users\Andrew\AppData\Local\

(a quick way of getting there is typing %temp% into the Windows file explorer, then going back one folder)

Right-click on the "Temp" folder and choose properties, then click the security tab and click advanced.

On the permissions tab you should see the permissions that are there. There should 3 which are:

'SYSTEM' with Full control which applies to 'This folder, subfolders and files'
'Administrators' with Full control which applies to 'This folder, subfolders and files'
'Andrew' with Full control which applies to 'This folder, subfolders and files'

Ensure you have full control over that temp folder. If you don't have the 'Include inheritable permissions from this object's parent' option ticked, then tick it and click continue if there are any problems, then remove the permissions that aren't inherited. Click apply.

That will give your Windows rights to it, then if still blocked it's most likely the anti-virus blocking.

There is nothing that says "Include inheritable permissions from this object's parent", only "Replace all child permission entries with inheritable permission entires from this object", is that the same thing? All the boxes are also checked, except for special permissions.

It's correct and fine if they are all ticked (except for special permissions).
You can ignore that then, it's something else blocking it.

Consider scanning your PC with a different anti-virus manually, such as using SpyBot:
https://www.safer-networking.org/mirrors24/

Then if deemed clean, check your real-time anti-virus settings/restrictions/lockdowns.

Who actually fixed/cleaned your PC? Did they add any lockdown to it, such as HIPS (Host Intrusion Prevention Service)?
