DirectX Won't Install and CTD

[equaltimepoint]

When installing the 737-8/900 I recieve and error during the DirectX Setup saying the install failed and to refer to the "DXerror.log and DirectX.log." I registered and attempted to fly the aircraft anyway but it causes FSX to CTD when I load the plane. I'm running Vista 32 Bit. Any Ideas? -ETP

total shot in the dark this, but with Vista?, always try rightclicking on the setup and choose 'run as administrator'

Just did a fresh installation making sure I right-clicked on the setup and chose "run as administrator" but still recieved a message saying "An internal error occured. Please refer to DXerror.log and DirectX.log."Thanks for the advice though! -ETP

do you have FSX accelaration or SP2 installed? i recall having had a directx related issue when installing FSX long time ago but forgot the details. do you have aero on/off (transparent windows)? gfx card drivers fully updated? Vista latest SP installed etc etc. just thinking out load here

I manually downloaded and installed DirectX 9.0C and that did the trick. Thanks for your help and suggestions!-ETP
