Problem with FS2002 installation

[Auriga]

I just purchased a new computer with Windows XP. I tried to install my FS2002 in the new computer and got this error message several times: "The application or DLL D:\DirectX\setup.DLL is not a valid windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette." Then I got this error message: "DirectX setup failed." I just downloaded and installed DirectX 9.0 (and restarted the computer). Does anyone know what is wrong here?
Thank you.

Is this before anything else happens .... or does it start installing and then come up with that message?

Sounds like your Direct-X installation is corrupt. Either try re-installing it from the .cab or .zip file you downloaded, or just download it again.

If it still doesn't work check some of the other CDs in your collection - it usually comes shipped with quite a few games these days.
