AudioVideoPlayback.dll is currently in use

1

When I try to install the June 2010 DirectX SDK, I receive this message:

The DirectX component "Microsoft.DirectX.AudioVideoPlayback.dll" is currently in use by other applications. You must close any applications using the component before setup can continue.

I have closed everything and still get the error. Any ideas?

I managed to resolve the issue by running the installer (DXSDK_Jun10.exe) as an administrator. Right-click the .exe and choose "Run as administrator".

Let's see if any program is listed when you try tasklist /m AudioVideoPlayback.dll in a command prompt.

Ok I tried that and it said no tasks were running that used that dll. – jeffythedragonslayer – 2011-04-23T13:29:40.727

It's probably giving you the wrong error message then. But, have you tried installing it in Safe Mode? – Louis – 2011-04-23T14:17:43.077
