Requiem & DirectX 6!

The NTcompatible list says that Requiem runs fin under Windows 2000. However, when I install it on my machine I get an error message saying, DirectX 6 or later required. As Windows 2000 has DirectX 7.

As Windows 2000 has DirectX 7.1 I don't understand the problem!
 
Any ideas . . . anyone?

OP
Sorry I wasn't clear enough in the first note. I can install it fine - the error message comes up when I try and run the game (the message comes up regardless of which of the three possible executable files you use).
 
Any thoughts?
