Why does the installer insist on downloading DX9?

    Simply because Win7 does not come with DX9 updates, DX11 is not backward compatible as you may think, DX9\10\11 are seperate entities in their own right, so each component may be updated, so not progressive as many people think.

    Hi,

    I am installing on W7 as well.
    So will DX11 and DX8 live together in the system, or DX11 will be removed?
    Related question - during installation MP also tries to up(down)grade VC++ redistributable from version 2008 already installed to version 2005. Is it really necessary?

    O Frabjous Joy! That seems to have done the trick. Thank you so much for your help and advice, CyberSimian. I hadn't thought of deleting the various folders, but I'll bear that in mind for any future disasters. Now I can record King & Conqueror on Sunday! Cheers Ralph

    I don't use MP2, so I can only suggest some things to check. (1) Does the file reside on a NAS? If it does, the failure to delete may be because the userid that MP2 runs under is not authorised for delete access on the NAS (i.e. MP2 has read access, but not update/delete access). When you use Windows Explorer, you are using your own...

    100% my bad - as expected :) So, I had disabled the Windows Update service. Not a wise move, until MP all installed and working nicely. The reason it failed is because DotNetFrameworkChecker.cs looks in Registry HKLM SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\NET Framework Setup\\NDP for v4/v4.0 AND v3.5. W10 has V4.0 but not 3.5. MP installer...
