Launcher does not correctly detect DirectX Versions if user machine is running D3D12
Description: The APB Launcher does not correctly detect DirectX Versions if the user machine is currently running DirectX 12, and will attempt to install DirectX 9.0c as a fail safe. This can take a minute for the system to pass. Steps to reproduce:1. Have a machine that is compliant with D3D12 standards (and has DirectX 12 currently running).2. Launch the launcher.3. Notice that it hangs on installing DirectX when you have a DirectX version greater than 11.
