DirectX is updated quarterly. Generally, the updates are for developers.
DXSETUP.exe - Unable to Locate Component
This application has failed to start because framedyn.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
^^ yes it is. cuz after you unzip into the user specified folder you have to go into that folder and click setup.exe, which will update your dx accordingly.

The approach is designed to enable patching of MMOG titles, while supporting standard user accounts that have restricted access to the hard drive and system registry.
