DirectX Installation Failure -- Windows 10

G

GreedyLamb

I've recently gotten an HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop, and my immediate first course of action was to begin installing all my standard games through Steam: Bioshock Infinite, Saints Row 2, and the like. However, they come into errors upon attempting to install DirectX. I've done a great deal of looking into it, on this forum and others, and have yet to find anything that has helped me. I've attempted using the DirectX installer linked in so many help posts of similar issues, but to no avail. In the past couple days it had been giving me the apparently infamous "internal error" message, asking users to look at dxerror.log, however today it has stated that it is copying files, then claiming it has succeeded despite proof to the contrary. The contents of said log file are pasted below. I have been attempting to fix this for days, and am at my wits end. I would greatly appreciate any help offered.
