Missing or corrupted DxSetup.exe

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

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:

Upon reviewing the respective install LOG files...

....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...

The file dd_dotnetfx35error.txt is empty - and searching for the word

means "Baseline succeeded. Reboot required to complete setup action."

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.

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...

Carefully following the direction of Marc Liron, Microsoft MVP 2010,
as detailed here...
http://www.updatexp.com/scannow-sfc.html
....I executed sfc /scannow, but it did not resolve the Missing or
corrupted DxSetup.exe problem. Hopefully, it did not create other
problems.

It do not know if it has any relevance, but I recently removed Microsoft
Messenger (entirely) from my system. Having never used it, it's
Service was disabled, and it's option in Outlook Express had
been removed, for over 2 years,

Other than reinstalling my operating system, anyone have a solution or
suggestions of how I can resolve this Missing or corrupted DxSetup.exe
problem?

Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your reply, support and links, Donald. :eek:)

I have been using 3 or 4 of them for the last 2 years.

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!!

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/Sea...roduct=Intel®+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.
