    You can always run the MSI installer with logging on to get a better idea of what is going wrong.

    <Program>.msi / will give you the switches.

    ...okay...nuked everything to do with 'DirectX' out of the registry, gave WinXP an upgrade re-install, installed DirectXJune2005, re-installed VC# cuz I lost all my templates, now I'm good Big Smile

    Thanks for the replies guys.

    Thanks Mykre...It fails at the installation of the DirectX Runtime...error code (-9)...then happily continues installing everything else (docs, samples, etc).  The last few lines in the DirectX.log file are:

    ...it looks like there's something old in there conflicting.  I uninstalled the old stuff and manually deleted everything that was left over and I still get the error.  Anyone know of a DirectX cleanup tool or manual procedure

    No, I 've installed the June2005 DirectX SDK succesfully. I've installed on 2 XP-machines. No earlier versions of DirectX SDk were installed before. On one machine I have Visual Studio 2003 & 2005 beta. The other one had only Visual Studio 2005 beta (defaut installation)

    Maybe this is a usefull link
