If you use win 7 it wont work..

Is there any chance of working around it for win7? at all?

Dont know.. I also use win 7 and update uses win 10 so.
But you can work around it,if you cant buy the ship that is on another page you ask a friend to buy it and transfer character.

Given that this answer received when specifically asked online, there should be some path to a work-around?
(The dx update completes without error, the stated files are present in the listed directory and whitelisted in anti-virus)
It's hard to imagine why 15 year old update wouldn't work with an OS that was current and supported at that time.

Is the bottom paragraph possibly pertinent to the processes being used here which need addressing?
