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.

If you have SP2 then you should have 9.0C of direct X.

Maybe try downloading the full Windows XP SP2 file and run it.
