Can't install PCSX2, c++ redistributable install stuck on "processing windows 81 x64"

Here's the dxwebsetup that's kinda hard to come by now atleast through microsoft. Also if you write down which *.dlls are missing you do know you can get them from www.dll-files.com

and as a side note, make sure you don't use Dxwebsetup since it won't work.
use this instead

Dxwebsetup DOES work I still use it from time to time and it works just fine.

maybe, but :
1 - it's generally useless unless you're using winxp, since dx updates will come via WU
2 - it's completely useless with pcsx2 needing Dx9 libraries, since dxwebupdater wont download dx9 libraries if you have at least dx10 (builtin since Vista). Hence the need of redist package to force dx9 libraries to get installed

[StriFe]

dxwebsetup doesn't only download dx9 though DX12 might come through windows updates, but DX10/11 still went through dxwebsetup.

still useless for pcsx2, then

How so? DX9 got removed, but DX11 should still be there no?

PCSX2 requires the DX 9.0c redist, and the dxwebsetup skips that if you're already running 10 or higher. (Which is always the case unless you're running Windows XP as jes mentioned). The version he linked is basically the only thing needed.

Ryudo that is NOT an answer to my question, DX11 should still be in PCSX2 thus Dxwebsetup is not useless, but fine I'll don't help next time then sheesh.

Dx9 libraries are needed for pcsx2 anyways.
if you use anything about winxp, dxwebsetup won't bring those Dx9 libraries

Dx10-11-12 are updated through windows update since windows Vista and, as Ryudo said, dxwebsetup will skip Dx9 libraries if it detects anything above dx9 installed.

conclusion : dxwesetup is useful only for dx9 under windows xp

Got it ?
