Can't run games like MS Flight Simulator X or Medieval 2... get error D3DX9_30.dll is missing, and invalid version of Directx. I ran autoupdate on MS site, directX is current (9.0c). DXdiag shows no problems. When I try to reinstall get an 'internal error' and installation fails. Tried several releases inclucluding December and April. Running MS PRofessional X64.
Here's snipplet from dxerror.log:

I've already ran the webupdate on microsoft.com. Also downloaded the runtime. Both errored out during installation.

update #1
I have reinstalled the games, even tried reinstalling DirectX directly off folder on CD. Hrmmm, hitting a brick wall here. I downloaded the files (*.dll) from the net and put them in my game directory and c:\windows\system but still nothing... same error.
