You could try DirectX Happy Uninstall then try again to install.

Download the "redistributable" version... i have no problems with this one....

extract it to a folder(ex: MYBRANDNEWDIRECTX9c) and then go to "MYBRANDNEWDIRECTX9c" folder then click "setup"..

On retail version, the DirectX is included on DVD.
So I assume that this is demo version.

If your OS is XP then just install SP2 which includes that version of Direct X.
