Upon getting C-IV as a present......I install and even before installing DirectX9, my computer states that a cabinet file is not trusted. Please offer some help.
 
Yes ......i get by it and then the game still will not start
Here's what happens:
1. Install shield loads
2. Directx9.0 tries to load but the box says 'A cabinet file necessary for installation cannot be trusted.' I press 'X' and goes to directx finish button then it
3. Goes to intallation of Civ-IV....I press install and the game installs-"successfully".
4. When I try to launch the game---it says tha " the 93DX9_26.DLL file was not found.

I have tried several times to uninstall and reinstall with no luck

By the way......thanks for trying to help me.
 
The file your looking for is available on the web here...........

http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?d3dx9_26

there is also a _25 and _27 ...all these files are incremental addons to DX9.0c

just unzip and place in your windows/system32 directory (if you have DX9.0c already ). Your then good to go:)
No need to install from Civ disk.
 
I'm sorry for your frustration, HeyYou. I understand how absolutely frustrating it can be to buy new software and not have it work properly. I hope you get it running.
