Windows 10: Clean installed w10.Now msiafterburner giving me "Required DirectX runtimes not installed"

What I have

Clean installed my OS today and suddenly when trying to launch MSI afterburner I get this issue.

Wierdly enough trying to find a fix I noticed a couple of comments on this video that are as recent as today having the very same issue https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BH1Yxp5-AI

DirectX installation failed

Thank you for letting me know. I'd suggest to try running the DirectX installers below and check if the installation will proceed:

• DirectX End-User Runtimes (June 2010)
  
• DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer

Will keep an eye out for you response.

Regards.

 

Clean Install Workaround for Vista

You may remember this news story on techPowerUp! a couple of days ago relating to the lack of clean installs when using the Upgrade Editions of Vista, which required an old OS to be installed. However, Paul Thurrott has managed to find a workaround for this issue, which ironically lets users do a clean install Vista without any previous version of Windows, albeit a little tedious. Here are the steps:

• Boot from the Windows Vista Upgrade DVD as normal
• When prompted for a product code, leave this blank
• Select the version of Vista you have purchased and let Vista install
• When you boot to your desktop for the first time, run the Vista setup from Windows
• This time enter your product key
• When asked whether you want to do an Upgrade of Custom install, select custom and choose a clean install
• Windows will now install for a second time and you should be able to activate it

Remember, these steps are only advised for use in order to achieve a clean install of Vista, it is only legal to use the upgrade editions if you have previously purchased the appropriate version of Windows.

Installed w10, got only directx 9Ex

I installed w10,
dxdiag is showing that it has directx 9Ex

What happened to dx 12, 11.1 11.0 or even 10?

how can it bundle such an older dx version?

1. If higher dx versions are there in the installation pen drive, how can I extract the installations files from there and install them?
   
2. I also have w8 and w7 installations, so how can I copy a higher dx version from those o.s. to w10?
   

ADD: 27 April 2016

I also am not in to gaming, so don't need higher dx for that.
I use ChrisTV to watch TV on my pc using a TV Tuner.
ChrisTV shows lines and haziness that distracts, so taking recomendation of christv site, I download WMEncoder_64bit_v9
which, on running, is giving the error that
"it requires directx media 8.1, so can't run."

Even when my dx is 9E something it doesn't recognize that, probably it needs clearcut 9.0 written there.
So I tried to upgrade dx just to be able to run WMencoder.

the question changes to how to make WMencoder run on my box which requires dx 8.1 or higher, when I already have dx 9E.

Can I downgrade dx to dx 9.0 so that the software recognizes it and runs?
Thanks.
