    Which version were you trying to install?

    There used to be an uninstaller for DirectX but I haven't seen it for a number of years. Do a web search.

    DirectX Uninstaller 0.13

    DirectX 9 Uninstaller

    DirectX Eradicator 2.0

    DirectX Buster

    That happens. That's usually due to an a overlook on the part of the game developers.

    Could very well be, if the card is older and will not work with later versions of the software.

    DirectX Happy Uninstall
