[+] Checking Architecture…
[+] Installing xinput9_1_0.dll for the x64 platform…
The system cannot find the path specified.
‘infinst.exe’ is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
The system cannot find the path specified.
Could Not Find C:\Windows\SysWOW64\xinput9_1_0_x86.cat
[+] Installation finished!
[?] Do you want to review the DirectX logfile to see if everything went fine?
Y – Opens C:\Windows\DirectX.log with notepad.
N or Enter – Quits the installer.

Arris: infinst.exe is included in the x64 folder of the archive. Verify the archive is not corrupted and extract the archive somewhere before running install.cmd.

UAC is off.

Arris: Are you running the program as Administrator (right click -> Run as Administrator)? You can also manually copy and register the files. Open the installer batch-file using a text editor and see what actions it does.

Oh, and that was on a Windows 7 64bit machine.

And thanks!

Arris: Thanks for your comments!

This helped fixed my “there is a problem with your game setup” problem with Battlefield 3. Leaving a comment so others can find via search.

Yes, I have the x64 version installed. Thank you so much. I will do it manually instead.

Arris: Sorry, it was my fault: the 64bit installer installed both xinput9_1_0.dll files into %windir%\system32. It’s fixed now!

I used your installer, however, it seems it only installed to the “system32″ directory… I browsed the “SysWOW64″ directory and could not find the “xinput9_1_0.dll”. Can someone help? Thanks.

Arris: The installer checks whether you are using the x86 or x64 version of Windows. If x86 (32bit) is detected, the .dll will only be installed into %windir%\system32. If x64 (64bit) is detected, the 64bit version of the xinput9_1_0.dll will be installed into %windir%\system32 and the 32bit version of xinput9_1_0.dll will be installed into %windir%\SysWOW64. So: if you are using Windows Server 2008 x86 everything is alright; if you are using x64 something went wrong and you will have to copy/register the .dll’s manually, see the source of the .bat how to do that.
