• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. issues installing DXSDK_Dec2005.EXE

  Hi, I downloaded the SDK (december 2005) and I cannot install it. A window comes up saying: "Extracting file failed. It is most likely caused by low memory (low disk space for swapping file) or corrupted Cabinet file." Well, my machine has 2Gb of ram and my swap is the same size so I think the file is corrupted.

TB would be perfect for it, but the rights-management is desperatly needed for it! ...Show All
