Recently I was trying to install age of empires 3 onto my computer, I got an error during the installation but it installed it anyway. When I tried to load the game it came up that it was missing a file, a file which is very similar to those in the directxc folder. So I tried to install directxc onto the computer and got an error saying that "a cabinet file necessary for the installation cannot be trusted" Anyone know of a way to get directxc installed onto the computer? I currently have directxb. cheers!

Have you tried logging in as Admin and reinstalling the software? It seems as if that's where the problem lies; the failed install. Life is more painless for those who are brainless.

To resolve this, I suggest you re-register the files below. Softpub.dll Wintrust.dll Initpki.dll Dssenh.dll Rsaenh.dll Gpkcsp.dll Sccbase.dll Slbcsp.dll Mssip32.dll Cryptdlg.dll 0. Click Start >> Run. 1. In the Open box, type cmd & click OK. 2. At the command prompt, type regsvr32 softpub.dll & press ENTER. 3. Click OK when you receive the message that DllRegisterServer in Softpub.dll succeeded. 4. Repeat steps 0 through 3 for the remaining files namely Wintrust.dll, Initpki.dll, Dssenh.dll, Rsaenh.dll, Gpkcsp.dll, Sccbase.dll, Slbcsp.dll, Mssip32.dll & Cryptdlg.dll. 5. Type exit & press ENTER to quit Command Prompt. Goodluck. Computer Components
