The DirectX installation program will extract all of its files to the folder. Open the folder you created earlier to find a large number of CAB files, a few DLL files, and one called dxsetup.exe.

For example, if you need the d3dx9_41.dll file, it can be found in CAB file Mar2009_d3dx9_41_x86. Double-click on the appropriate CAB file to open it. There are two versions of most DirectX CAB files: a 32-bit and 64-bit version.

Move the .dll file to your desktop. Windows has built-in support for opening CAB files, but if another program opens it, look for an option to extract the file in the program&#39;s menu and extract it to your desktop.

If you received an error message that specified another location where the DLL file is missing from (for example, in the folder of a particular game or graphics application), copy the DLL file there instead. Delete any copies of the DLL file from your desktop, and delete the folder with the extracted DirectX files. Leaving DLL files on your desktop can create problems in some situations.
