First time setup issue.

[Reeniee]

I'm trying to run Men at War, which I recently purchased and downloaded from steam, and it says:

"Performing first time setup, installing Microsoft Direct X"

Then nothing happens for a while, and that message is replaced with "Main executable has stopped working."

I bought the game in the bundle with Red tide, and that is working, but I was hoping to play multiplayer with a friend.

Any ideas? : )

Thanks.
