I installed PCSX2, tried to update my DirectX.
I set compatability mode for Windows XP in the installer.
I hit NEXT, and it says the components are ready to be used.
Go to run PCSX2, it crashes.
Any ideas?

Did you set compatibility to XP for pcsx2.exe 0.9.6?
edit: oh I see what you meant, my bad

XP mode isn't needed for me on Win7, I don't see how it would help.

Well, the DirectX installer didn't actually install anything, it just skipped to the end.
I tried also manually inserting the directx dlls, and that simply made it crash.

Try finding the DirectX end-user runtimes march 2009 (google is your friend) and install that one, sometimes the web installer doesnt do things right (I dont see why you run it with XP compatibility/emulator anyway).

No, something changed in 7600.
It still asks me to update my DirectX, I download the redistributable and it says it's completed, but doesn't actually do anything.
When I try to add them manually, pcsx2 crashes when starting up a game.
EDIT: Did the web installer, and it apparently works now, odd.

What made you think you needed to run it with XP compatibility anyway?
