My man quark with the clutch advice; all I had to do was exit Skype and the installation went swimmingly. Thanks again for the tip, 1 year later!

Maxell Ray Tandan - Check out Scott Kermode's reply below (3/20/16). I don't have use Skype, but I followed his suggestion. Simple solution. I don't know yet if it will work for me, but worth a try.

It does! Thank you indeed, it's the only thing that did work. Avast was blocking DirectPlay without any indication whatsoever.

I had to disable all of the shields on Avast Anti-virus in order to install DirectPlay. I hope this helps someone else.

How do you enable Directplay in Windows 10? I tried to look up but failed.

Have you tried to enable it from the add/remove Windows features in the control panel?
