After the launcher update for the 2.3 patch, the new launcher (launcher version 2014.06.24.0000.0001) is giving me an error that states "The latest version of DirectX is required to play FINAL FANTASY XIV. Please download and install the DirectX End-User Runtime, then restart the game."

The operating system is Windows Server 2008 R2, 64bit. I had no problems running the game prior to the launcher update. I was playing the game just fine earlier in the day.

I had no problems updating the launcher and then updating the game on my other computer which is running Windows 7, but I'm having the above problem on my server computer.

I have tried updating the graphics card drivers and have verified that directx is working properly using dxdiag. I have also tried running the launcher in Windows 7 compatability mode to no avail.

Please advise.
