BTS Installer Issue

[defenderofint]

Okay, I have searched far and wide for a forum post relating to my specific problem here, and I have not been able to find one.

I'm running XP/SP3 on a "Boot Camped" MacBook Pro with Intel DualCore 2.16 Ghz processors, 2 GB of RAM, and an ATI Radeon X1600 with 256 MB of VRAM. I have a Civ4 Vanilla installed and am now trying to install BTS. Every time I initiate the installer, I get to the point where BTS is supposed to start installing, and I see a message that the installer is searching for "DirectX runtime components". After a few seconds, the installer mysteriously quits, leaving no trace whatsoever.

I have tried running the installer directly from the disc, and I've tried renaming the installer folder. Nothing has solved this problem.

Note: Currently, Civ4 is NOT patched. However, I tried reinstalling Civ4, and the previous patched version resulted in the same problem. Can anyone tell me what's going on here?

I've been able to determine, via running the DirectX update tool on the CD itself, that something is wrong with the DirectX installation itself. Anybody have any idea how to reset this DirectX thing and purge the problem?

install a new direct x from the link below:

then install civ4 - and patch it to 1.61 (not 1.74) - then install BtS
