HOM&M 3 directx problem

The message i get is
"Setup has determined that you have a current version of DirectX. You do not need to install at this time. Would you like to install anyway?", then,
"Setup has detected an unknown version of DirectX is installed on this computer. the minimum requirements for this game is DirectX 7. You will not be able to play this game until dirext x is upgraded"
What should i do??

Delete the game and all references to it. Then go here and download the new Direct X. Then try and reinstall the game.

Tim, I have to agree with Wilhelmus, removing Direct X can mess up your computer. Your best bet is to try and rerun the program and when it asks if you want to install Direct X go ahead and let it install.
You could also try and partition your harddrive so that way you can run both Win XP and Win 98. There are alot of threads in here on the proper way to do that if you want to try it. Just use the search feature Philipp has it set up real nice to find things.
