I have a Missing or corrupted DxSetup.exe problem...

http://i31.tinypic.com/e86fzo.png

....and I recall seeing this same error message once, perhaps twice in the 2
or 3 months.

This same DxSetup.exe error message occurred when I was attempting to
install non-essential software programs. And when the (above) error message
window popped up, I chose to terminate the installation and delete the
non-essential software program.

Currently, this DxSetup.exe error message occurs when I try to install
Intel's Network Adapter Drivers 15.4.1 for Windows XP.

Back on 2010 April 29, I successfully installed Intel's Network Adapter
Drivers 15.2 for Windows XP, and did not have any problems - in other words,
I did not experience this DxSetup.exe error message.

My operating system is Windows XP SP3, 32-bit, up to date via Windows
Update, with the exception of Microsoft's Malicious Removal Tools, and
Internet Explorer 7 or 8. I have never allowed Windows Update to install any
Malicious Removal Tool, and because I only use Internet Explorer for Windows
Updates (my primary browser is Firefox 3.6 including its latest version and
updates), I find no value nor interest to upgrade to Internet Explorer 7 or
8.

According to Add or Remove Programs, I have the following Microsoft .NET
Frameworks installed...

1.1 - v1.1.4322
2.0 Service Pack 2 - v2.0.50727
3.0 Service Pack 2
3.5 Service Pack 1

....which is confirmed by ASoft .NET Version Detector 2007 as follows:

http://i26.tinypic.com/2i9toar.png

Upon reviewing the respective install LOG files...

http://i27.tinypic.com/33xwjus.png

....I found no apparent error messages.

The file dd_dotnetfx3error.txt is empty - and searching for the word "error"
in the dd_dotnetfx3install.txt file, produces only one reference...

To ensure my Registry is not effected by any new program installation, I
typically back it up prior to the install. However, because I install or
updated software several times each week, once the new or updated program
appears to work as described, I generally delete the Registry backup file.
This may seem severe, but once I install a new program or update, the
previous Registry backup become moot. Moot because it has no value since
restoring it also removes any newer Registry entries, updates, etc.

I am running Windows Installer 4.5 and have not experienced any problems
with it.

I manually update Windows XP by visiting the Windows Update website once a
week, and utilize the CUSTOM option to check for Windows XP updates.

For non-Windows operating system software, I visit other websites like
MajorGeeks and FileHippo. I try to download new software direct from the
author's website(s) whenever possible.

When available, I generally update my DirectX files. Recently, I installed
DirectX June 2010 Redistributable (with filename directx_Jun2010_redist.exe).
As with all previous versions, I extracted this file a temp directory,
F:\DirectX_Install. Once extracted, I executed DXSETUP.EXE to install the
DirectX update. Once complete, I typically leave the Application,
Application Extensions and Cabinet Files, in place until the next DirectX
Redistributable is released - and when it is, I delete all files in
F:\DirectX_Install before executing the new DXSETUP.EXE application file.

While I have executed the DirectX Redistributable DXSETUP.EXE application
file several time in the last 2 to 3 years (concurrent with the respective
DirectX Redistributable release), I have never looked for the DxSetup.exe
file elsewhere on my HDD. Therefore, I have no idea where it is supposed to
be located. I read one (confusing website's) expert suggest that it is
located in the C:\WINDOWS\System32 directory. When I looked, it was not
there - so I copied the latest DXSETUP.EXE file to it. Unfortunately, it did
not correct or resolve the problem - the problem remains.

I am running DirectX 9.0c, and ran the DirectX Diagnostic Tool and no
problems were found.

http://i28.tinypic.com/1grwup.png

Note that I removed Computer Name and Page file - their info is irrelevant,
in my opinion.

I do have a DirectX directory, that I believe was created with the initial
install of Windows XP SP2 that came with my Dell. This directory,
C:\WINDOWS\system32\DirectX, is empty of files. However, there is a Dinput
subdirectory, C:\WINDOWS\system32\DirectX\Dinput, that contains 33
Configuration Settings files, and 147 PNG Image files.

Regarding anti-virus programs, I run Avira AntiVir 9.0.0.422 - where I run
Avira AntiVir Guard to protect my system from real-time virus and
adware/malware problems. I manually update the definition files at least
twice daily.

Regarding adware/malware problems, as a redundant program to Avira, I also
have Ad-Aware AE installed - though in a passive mode only. In other words,
Lavasoft Ad-Aware Service is disabled when Ad-Aware AE is not being run -
with its' Real-time Protection off. In addition, the Ad-Watch option is also
disabled. In short, I rely on Avira for adware/malware protection and use
Ad-Aware to manually scan my system one, maybe twice a week.

I do not schedule any software updates, and always disable the automatic
update option or preference.

After running both Avira and Ad-Aware, my system appears to be free of
viruses and adware/malware.

To supplement my investigation, I ran HijackThis and it generated the
following LOG file...

It do not know if it has any relevance, but I recently removed Microsoft

You can thank Intel for this wild goose chase.

Anyone who has owned a Windows computer in the last ten years,
knows that a file name like "dxsetup" is associated with
Microsoft DirectX updates.

Well, the idiots at Intel decided it would be fun to not only use
a name like that for *their* software, but to also include that
name in their documentation. (In other words, this isn't just a
file which has a low profile.)

Initially, when I started reading your problem description, it sounded
like the Intel software needs some DirectX support, which is pretty
silly as a premise. A network installer usually doesn't have much in
the way of an interface.

I downloaded the Intel installer, and it does have a dxsetup.exe in it.
It is part of Intel ProSet. I opened this download with 7-ZIP, which makes
it possible to look inside downloads, without installing them (as long
as they aren't InstallShield protected).

http://downloadmirror.intel.com/19181/a08/PROWin32.exe

PROWin32.exe\\APPS\PROSETDX\Win32\DxSetup.exe

I can't tell you what is broken, but I'd say that some part of the
Intel installer broke when you installed 15.2. An attempt to install 15.4.1
is attempting to un-install 15.2 automatically, and failing in the same way
as those error messages are suggesting. Either you didn't install the
entire 15.2 package on purpose, or something did fail while 15.2 was being
installed. Options might be Windows Installer Cleanup, Revo Uninstaller
or the like, but I lack the skills to guide you here. If someone
else wants to take a shot at it, I'd start by looking at the contents
of the PROWin32.exe installer.

Chances are, there will be an Intel installation folder, somewhere
on your C: drive, and you could look there to see if the files you
see inside the PROWin32.exe, exist on your C:. It could be something
simple, like a path variable to the Intel folder, wasn't set up
properly. Or, it could be some much more complex problem...

REVISED

Now, today, given your insight and preliminary analysis, to further my
investigation, I think that I am going to need another PC. Why? Well,
unless I can find a simple solution, I could uninstall 15.2, but that will
drop my ability to connect to the Internet.

Unfortunately, I cannot determine which DXSETUP file is appropriate for
Windows XP. I suppose the ones that are not will advise me during the
install, but this approach does not give me any confidence because it seems
so elementary. In addition, the possibility of malicious files is always a
concern.

So, in short, I prefer to seek other solutions at this time.

I am hoping one of the MVP's will eventually chime in with a verifiable
Microsoft-related solution.

Thanks again!
