That is your problem, some other game you have played has made you install dx9c not gave you option to skip as you already have it, i had same prob as you with both demo and full game, NFS-MW demo comes with june or july dx9c and mines was oct dx9c i think F.E.A.R installed it i cant be sure i have played lot of games recently.

I didnt know NFS-MW came on dvd, on the 4cd version you simply explore cd1 (dvd will be same) and set your " AutoRun.exe " to Win 2000 mode to install the game.

Others have told you to edit the dx9c part, have you even tried this yet ?.

I would suggest downloading the very latest DirectX 9.0c from Micro$oft and, if still no luck, contacting the game publisher. As you bought the game, it's their damn duty to help you with making it work on your computer!

Also you say you cannot see the 'Autorun.inf' file on your CD/DVD?
This could be caused by a couple of things!
Firstly try this:
In Windows Explorer, go to the 'Tools' menu, then 'Folder Options', then to the 'View' tab. Now check that the Green dot is in "Show Hidden Files and Folders".
Also whilst in the 'View' box, untick "Hide Extensions for Known File Types".
Then click the 'Apply' button.
Then near the top of the 'View' box, click the "Apply to all Folders" button.
Now you should be able to see the Autorun.inf file!
Apparently there is no DVD version, so its homebrew and someone never put on the autorun stuff.

Hello, I have a problem to with directX

When i am accepting the license agreement, i clik on next, Then i get a message: The setup will not contiue because you need to have DirectX9.0c or higher, you can download it at microsoft.com/directX.

But I have already direct X 9.0C, because i play fifa06, and San andereas.
Could i do something that it wont ask for this or that he dont try to check it, and i also reinstald directX9.0c several times.

Thanks,

Copy the contents of CD1 to a folder.

Go into the folder then into the autorun folder, there you will find autorun.cfg

Look near the top you will see

RTPatch=0
RTPatchURL=http://patches.ea.com/nfs_mostwanted/home.html
RTPatchCDID=NA
DirectXVersion=9.0c


Change the 9.0c to 0


Burn the contents of the folder to a cd with the same label as the original, install using the burnt cd1 and use your original 2,3,4

It should install.

DirectX 9.0c exists in several subsubsubversions. Why they don't get a (slightly) different version number so that difference will be obvious? No idea, ask Micro$oft!

The reason it wants to install 9.0c is because it adds another dll into the system.

Namely

d3dx9_26.dll which doesnt come with any other version of DirectX 9.0c
