Help me! DirectX won't install!
Thanx

Download Complete. "YESSSSSS! The DirectX 7 SDK is finally MINE!! After 3 days of waiting, I have finally successfully downloaded this huge file. Now, I'll just fire up Winzip and... Illegal Fault. CURSES, MICROSOFT, CURSES!"
I opened up winzip and got an illegal fault. Somehow, I sensed something like that would happen, so I deleted the file and downloaded again.
Finally, a day later, the download finished. I fired up Winzip again and selected unzip and started unzipping the files into C:\dx7sdk\ (and I even selected the "Keep directory Structure" option)
At about file 204 out of 3068, I got the following error: "NetZip Unzip Error: Unexpected end of zip file. (Problem extracting file(s).) What's up wit' dat'?
I NEED HELP! Thanx!

Even if they do come out with a new version the day after you finish downloading it. The way it is built, is that each new release still works with all the older SDK... or so they say (haven't really tried it.. just sorta took their word for it).
Anyways, keep at it.. and one of these days it will work for you.
Even with my cable modem, I had to try and download it three times before I got it to uncompress properly.
Good luck.
