I'm currently installing MediaPortal but it says that I don't have DirectX installed but already have DirectX 11 . Is there a way around it downloading DirectX 9c which is taking a while to dowload even though I won't need it in the end?

Mediaportal is DX9 application. You have to install it even if you have DX10 or DX11 already installed

 

[gemx]

romuz is right.
DirectX is not completely downwards compatible.
So you have to install DirectX9 to run MP regardless of other DX versions you have already installed.

Unfortunately this is a Microsoft thing and we can't do anything about that.
