When I try and install Direct X I get this error "The cabinet file required for this installation cannot be trusted."

Any help please??

Try extracting the data from the .cab file then and see what you find in there.

Are you getting the installation directly from the Microsoft website? If you are then there might be a compatibility issue on your part with the installation.

If you are not getting the installation directly from the website then do here: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=35

If you have trouble downloading by the file through that link, I personally extracted the setup files and archived them for you based ON the link that Quizzical gave you. Here: http://www.mediafire.com/?5l2ni2od4vm5w5f

dxwsetup.exe is the installation file that you need to run.

You're still getting the .cab error?

Try running chkdsk or sfc (System File Checker)

Here:

Then try installing DirectX

Also you might have to re-register your Cryptographic services components. Open the RUN command from your start menu, and enter in these, one at a time (line by line):

Are you an admin on that computer? Also, gyazo/screenshot that error please.
