What are you trying to tell?

Instal directx 9.0c from Microsoft site or from the NFS cd.

OK ... easy ... copy the entire game on ur HDD ... there is a installation config file .... OPEN it in EDIT in Notepad

there is a entry named:
DirectX Version=9c

change it to

DirectX Version=0

save it n then install ... VIOLA done ...

THREAD CLOSED!!!

ok better still,1st try changing the compatibility mode of the installer 2 200/me and try if it works

no it wont, it has nothing to do with XP or ME ... believe me, i have done this and the reason why it does not detect DirectX 9c on most PCs is because it compares the one you have to a particular release (August05 DX9c) if you dont have that the installation wont progress ........

So just do what i said n install the game, and then delete the installation files after installation...

TOPIC CLOSED

i cant find installation config file in 1st cd ,there is autorun file and few dll files i cant find file named config or installation in main. no use

there is config file in support folder
config.xml but i cant find directx=9.0c in it

its not named config .... a config file is a file with the name extension *.ini it's gotta be there ...
