[Solved] RivaTuner says "Required DirectX runtimes are not installed." (Windows 10)

Quick reminder for everyone:
winget is not pre-installed before W10 21H2 & W11 releases. Download App Installer from Microsoft Store, or Github.
If you want to integrate winget, check out "Dism /image /Add-ProvisionedAppxPackage".
The script in my archive installs Winget on Windows 10/11 when it is not there.
Hello y'all, I'm facing this problem with my afterburner and RTSS. I'm getting that ''Required DirectX runtimes are not installed''. I've installed every runtime package from different years, but I'm still getting this error. I'm running Windows 11 and would like to properly OC my GPU, but I can't run the OSD by RTSS. Any help?

I just downloaded this program on a fresh install of W10 21H2, and Afterburner plus RTSS both automatically install the required C++ packages, as well as running the DirectX web setup, and the program runs fine.
You could have any number of reasons why it failed for you. Your Windows could be corrupt, you may be offline and so the DX installer failed to run, your antivirus/firewall could have blocked something, etcetera.
Afterburner/RTSS currently use C++ 2008, x86 and x64, version 9.0.30729.6161 so that needs to be installed. Check your Programs and Features page in the control panel to see if that exists. As for the DirectX components, download and install this (link).
If it still doesn't work, you could try running SFC, but otherwise at that point if things are still not working then there's something else going on, like you removed components with NTLite that are causing a problem, or your Windows is broken and needs a reinstall, maybe critical drivers are missing, etcetera.
