Games Won't Install - DirectX installer hung SOLUTION!

[National Vagabond]

OK, so the last 3 games I bought, I cannot play. Thanks to Microsoft DirectX continually stuck on Step 1 of 2 install prior to game installation. I know why they have to install this before each game (did the research), but how am I supposed to enjoy anything I buy on Steam? This only happened as of a few days ago...wtf?


*I figured out the solution! When you try to launch the game, launch task manager, click steam and find the direct x application installer, right click on it and go to details, click on the direct x application installer again and click SHOW FILE LOCATION. Launch the Direct X application installer and manually install it. Restart your computer. Launch the game again. (It will try to install Direct x again) but this time it will see it is already installed and launch the game!

Hope this help anyone having this issue
