DirectX 9.0c End-User Runtime installation issues
Attempting to install DirectX 9.0c on Windows 2000, as offered by Windows Update, will silently fail. This update is a “web” installer, which no longer works because Microsoft has deleted the files it downloads. Instead, you will need to manually download and install the full/offline installer of DirectX 9.0c.
