According to the title, you're attempting to set up DirectX 8 and 9 on Windows XP Pro 32-bit. The installer appears to complete setup but then claims instant success without actually installing anything. The directx directory remains empty, and programs requiring DirectX crash with a "failed to create D3D device" error. You have the newest GPU drivers (ATI FireGL V3600) and chipset drivers installed, yet the installation fails. Your display functions correctly, but the GPU testing on other systems succeeded. This inconsistency suggests a possible driver or compatibility issue that needs investigation.

You're getting the DX installer from the official website or a trusted source.

Have you made sure the correct software is installed? Consider updating to the latest versions if available.

I checked many online references, tested several sources and variations.

These are the latest drivers, directly from AMD's site—great for hosting and building ATI card drivers. Released in 2013.

I'm considering this option because the installer might have caused issues. There are tools available to remove corrupted installations (like Geek Uninstaller and MaceCraft JV16), so you could attempt a fresh setup again.

I encounter an issue when attempting to access the site AADSTS50058. A silent sign-in attempt was made, yet no user is authenticated. The session cookies were not transmitted in the Azure AD request. This may occur if the browser is Internet Explorer or Edge, and the application sending the silent sign-in is located in a different security zone than Azure AD (login.microsoftonline.com). I've been relying on third-party downloads.

Let me know, the file is about 95MB. I’ll forward it via WeTransfer.

It's likely you've already set up a game that uses DirectX or you received the 64-bit versions only. 64-bit programs can't run on a 32-bit operating system. You can find numerous offline installers from older sources, such as: http://www.oldversion.com/windows/directx-8-1
