Here's the problem:

I'm trying to install WoW on my wife's computer. This is a fresh install of XP Pro and WoW was previously installed and worked fine. I check the "dxdiag" and it says I have DirectX 9.0b installed so I go to Microsoft's site and download their dxsetup. I run it and I click next and it says my components are already installed. I check dxdiag and it still says I'm running 9.0b.
Is there a manual way of getting DirectX 9.0c on this darn box.

Btw...here are the specs:
Win XP Pro SP2 all updated
1GB RAM
XP 2800+
DFI AN35+ Ultra Mobo
9800 PRO AIW

Usually when installing a game you're prompted with a directX installation, too. Unless WoW installed dx9.0b, then yes, use the above link to get 9.0c
