I get this message when running 1.0.1

Please install a newer DirectX 9.0c redist!

But when I install DX 9.0c I get this message:

Setup has detected one or more DirectX component files are in-use by an application. Please exit all applications before running DirectX setup again.

What do I do? As far as I could tell I did exit all apps running and I still got the same message.

    Install DirectX redist right after a reboot. If this doens't fix the issue, try installing in Safe Mode (F8 during boot)

    Is it me or does MP1.0.1 Final wants to install DirectX from March 2008 while I have the March 2009 version installed?? I cancelled the installation (interrupting the download of directx) and now I cannot install MP anymore because it fails installing DirectX (that seems logical because the installer thinks it has been downloaded). I even ran CCleaner and run the installer again, still having the same problem :(

    edit: ok I deleted this file:
    %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temp\MediaPortal Installation\deploy\directx_aug2008_redist.exe

    and it works now.

    To prevent these problems, the installer should re-download the package and try again (now it simply exits completely).
