I just tried installing Civilization IV (game of the year boxed edition) on Windows 7 (RC) and at the very beginning of the process, it says "Setup has determined that you need to install DirectX".

I pressed cancel, and it cancels setup. I also tried to cancel out of just the DirectX part of the setup and it cancels the whole setup of CivIV as well.

I ran dxdiag and I am told that I have DirectX 11. I did research and it seems that DirectX 11 is backwards compatible with the DirectX 9 API.

Is it safe to continue the installation or is there something else that needs to be done?
