![]() ![]() ![]() It is best to run this tool at least a couple of times and restart your machine inbetween (I have found that there are sometimes additional runtimes that won't install until others have been installed).ĭon't expect "MS-Windows Update" to update your old DX9 runtimes they stopped doing this when Win10 - DX11 & DX12 was released. Here's a link to the "DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer"Ĭlick the Download button > choose Run > the tool will check for any missing DX9c runtimes and install them, FSX should work then. Win10 will have the latest DX10, 11, & 12 runtimes, but may not have the up-to-date DX9 runtimes. We hardly ever hear a mention of DX8 or DX9 these days, its only us Klingons who continue with ancient titles such as FSX that still work with Win7 Win8.1 & Win10 operating systems. Really sorry youve not been able to install your Microsoft Flight Simulator game you bought I bet youve been pulling your hair out for the last couple of days Hopefully I can guide you to the right place so you can can install it. Ie The FSX installer would have checked that DX9 and DX9b was installed and offered to install from the disk any missing components, but only up to DX9b as that was the API version of the time, other updates (DX9c + updated runtimes) would have been installed by MS update, but things have moved ahead to DX10, 11 & 12, where DX11 & 12 are included in the Win10 OS. Hi Andreas, my name is Neil, Im an independent adviser and a Windows 10 user like you. Win10 and even earlier OS'es will not have up-to-date DX9c runtimes these are often installed by the software or game. Essentially FSX runs with the DX9c API it can also use DX10 API. ![]()
