@josephwellman What happens when you try the steps outlined by Kristi on page 1?

I am on windows 7 and i have tried all the steps and i still get the error The game ran fine as i have 22 hours play time. then when i tried to start the game i got an error so i reinstalled it and that when the error started.

I'm getting exactly the same 'DirectX Setup error: An internal error occurred' err but with PVZ GW2 which I just forked out £50 to get it for my son. Downloaded SW BF2 no problem.

Anybode got any ideas?

Can you please explain what you did exactly?

Years on, had same problem found this thread but basically this fixed it for me : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRfCNk-DsWg so anyone else who also finds this thread, here you are hopefully this fixes yours too!

THX ! Work indeed as it show on video !

Basically some games by default want to install an older version of DirectX (in my case game NOX want to install Dx9.0 - not possible since i already have Dx11)

The solution is very well explain in the video !

THX!

P.S. Origin should think about that and fix this problem with game that want to install older DirectX version ...

Same problem with Medal of Honor : Pacific assault : DirectX internal error 

FIX - is the same :

1. enter to game install directory

2. go to _installer\directx\redist

3. select all files except: dsetup.dll , dsetup32.dll and dxsetup.exe - keep those 3 files and delete the rest of them.

Now click on the game and choose again install

Will work fine
