Install DirectX SDK (June 2010) failed with error code S1023

I was trying to install Direct SDK (June 2010), everything went just fine, but when the installation started to do some post installation processes, it returned with an error like this:

Setup failed.

Errors were encountered during installation of redistributable packages. Please close all open programs and try running setup again. If problems persist, contact DirectX Developer Support.

Error Code: S1023

I have tried looking in the log files in C:\Windows\Logs. There are 2 log files, DirectX.log and DirectX_SDK.log. I do not see any noticeable signs of “error” or “failure” of any kind.

In fact, the very last line in DirectX.log is:

dsetup32: Installation ended with value 0 = Installation succeeded

However the installation did fail. When I re-installed it for a second time, then finally found out that maybe has something to do with the VC 2010 redistributable run-time library. So I uninstalled it. and redo the installation for a third time, it installed perfectly.

So put it in a simple way, Solution for this issue:

go to Control Panel>Program & Features and uninstall programs like this:
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x86/x64 redistributable – 10.0.(number over 30319)

    这个错误看上去应该是权限的问题导致的，而权限的问题一般都可以用“以管理员的方式执行”来解决。
    BTW：我不记得安装DirectX SDK时有哪一步操作需要执行这些script？

谢谢啊，不过卸了VC++那个会有什么奇怪的影响吗？

  这也正是微软做的好的地方，没有影响，在.NET framework下几个版本的东西都会存着，卸载了新版本的，老版本可以继续工作。
  但是你安装好DX SDK之后，最好再重新安装新版。
