Missing or corrupted DxSetup.exe
in [Windows XP]
|
From: CurlySue on 21 Jul 2010 17:35 I have a [b]Missing or corrupted DxSetup.exe[/b] problem... [img]http://i31.tinypic.com/e86fzo.png[/img] ....and I recall seeing this same error message once, perhaps twice in the 2 or 3 months. <_< This same [b]DxSetup.exe[/b] 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 [b]DxSetup.exe[/b] error message occurs when I try to install [b]Intel's Network Adapter Drivers 15.4.1 for Windows XP[/b]. Back on 2010 April 29, I successfully installed [b]Intel's Network Adapter Drivers 15.2 for Windows XP[/b], and did not have any problems - in other words, I did not experience this [b]DxSetup.exe[/b] 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: [img]http://i26.tinypic.com/2i9toar.png[/img] Upon reviewing the respective install LOG files... [img]http://i27.tinypic.com/33xwjus.png[/img] ....I found no apparent error messages. The file [b]dd_dotnetfx3error.txt[/b] is empty - and searching for the word "[b]error[/b]" in the [b]dd_dotnetfx3install.txt[/b] file, produces only one reference... [size=1][color=#708090][04/25/09,00:23:40] Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0: CRootComponent::Install(): MSIInstallProduct returned ERROR_SUCCESS.[/color][/size] The file [b]dd_dotnetfx35error.txt[/b] is empty - and searching for the word "[b]error[/b]" in the [b]dd_dotnetfx35install.txt[/b] file, produces the following references...

[04/25/09,20:08:14] Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1: CRootComponent::Install(): MSIInstallProduct returned ERROR_SUCCESS. [/color][/size] 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 [b]Windows Installer 4.5[/b] 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. [IMG]http://i28.tinypic.com/1grwup.png[/IMG] Note that I removed [color="#708090"][b]Computer Name[/b][/color] and [color="#708090"][b]Page file[/b][/color] - their info is irrelevant, in my opinion. I do have a [b]DirectX [/b]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 [b]Dinput [/b]subdirectory, C:\WINDOWS\system32\DirectX\Dinput, that contains 33 Configuration Settings files, and 147 PNG Image files. Regarding anti-virus programs, I run [color=#FF0000]Avira AntiVir 9.0.0.422[/color] - where I run [color=#FF0000]Avira AntiVir Guard[/color] 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 [color=#FF0000]Ad-Aware AE [/color]installed - though in a passive mode only. In other words, [color=#FF0000]Lavasoft Ad-Aware Service[/color] is disabled when [color=#FF0000]Ad-Aware AE[/color] is not being run - with its [color=#FF0000]Real-time Protection[/color] off. In addition, the [color=#FF0000]Ad-Watch[/color] option is also disabled. In short, I rely on [color=#FF0000]Avira [/color]for adware/malware protection and use [color=#FF0000]Ad-Aware[/color] 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 [color=#FF0000]Avira[/color] and [color=#FF0000]Ad-Aware[/color], my system appears to be free of viruses and adware/malware. To supplement my investigation, I ran [color=#9932CC]HijackThis [/color]and it generated the following LOG file...

Thanks in advance.

I have never used the Driver Update Utility, and was surprised by the results. Surprised because the Intel system read my PC as a Windows 2003 Server, and the driver it recommended was EXACTLY the same one I had downloaded. Nevertheless, I downloaded it again and used the extraction without installation process to view the of directories and files associated with this driver. I have additional investigation to pursue and will update you once I have resolved this problem. Thanks again!! CurlySue
From: CurlySue on 23 Jul 2010 12:09 Hello again, Donald. Well . . . I decided to CHANCE using Intel's Driver Update Utility. Even though this Utility incorrectly ID'd my operating system as Windows 2003 Server, the Driver associated with the download had the same Digital Signature as the 15.4.1 version that I had download for Windows XP Home. I proceeded with the Intel Driver Update Utility and downloaded the Version 15.4.1 PROWin32.exe file. After the download was complete, I reviewed the online Read Me (htm) file [http://downloadmirror.intel.com/18717/eng/readme.htm] before executing the PROWin32.exe install. Having never extracted Intel files without installing them, I chose to employ the /f parameter and specified the destination path. Believing the /f parameter would function as it is described - Extracting the Files Without Installing - I anticipated reviewing the files before executing an install. Unfortunately, though not completely unfortunate, this is not how the process went. In short, with the /f parameter incorporated precisely as defined by Intel, the Windows 2003 Server PROWin32.exe began installing in the same manner I have witness several times in the last 2 or so years. So, I just went with the flow. Once the install appeared complete, I checked the path location that I had specified after the /f parameter, and there it was, a new directory named Intel 82562 based Network Controller. This directory has five File Folders, two Rich Text Format files, and a TIC File. I opened each of the File Folders, which include a Win32 subdirectory, as well as other subdirectories. And in the \Intel 82562 based Network Controller\APPS\PROSETDX\Win32 directory, I found the DxSetup.exe Application and Configuration Settings files, as well as the PROSETDX.msi Windows Installer Package. As you may guess, I was now smiling W-I-D-E-L-Y. Next, I proceeded to open Device Manager and check the version of the new install, and there it was . . . Intel PROSet Version 15.4.98.0 . . . not Version 15.4.1 that I was expecting, but that wouldn't be the first time a manufacture mis-labeled or did not properly identify its drivers or files. Oddly, the 15.4.89 release has the same Intel 82562 10/100 Network Connection Driver, 9.13.41.0, as the 15.2 release. Obviously, Intel was updating issues other than this driver. Then I ran the various Intel Diagnostics on the Connection, Cable and Hardware - all passed, so I rebooted, went back online, and proceeded to this newsgroup to inform you, and another fine gentleman named Peter whom also provided his support, of the results. There must be something WRONG with the PROWin32.exe file (a file I downloaded more than once, to insure the one on my HDD was not corrupt or otherwise defective) that downloads when Windows XP Home Edition is selected here . . . http://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Ethernet+Components&ProductLine=Ethernet+Controllers&ProductProduct=Intel%C2%AE+82562+Fast+Ethernet+Controllers because, as I said above, it has the same Digital Signature as the 15.4.1 version recommended by the Intel Driver Update Utility that ID's my operating system as Windows 2003 Server. Many thanks for your support, Donald, I could not have accomplished this without you. CurlySue
