CoD Steam - issue with installing Directx

[twopots]

Has anyone else encountered this problem?

I've downloaded the sim via Steam, and when I hit play, it says it's installing DirectX 1 - 5 ... and sits there. I left it for approx an hour and it just sits there with the steam dialog as above. Very frustrating!

Running DXDiag tells me I have directx V. 11 ... so I'm guessing that I should be up-to date.

Any idea's?

I might try installing from another PC and see how that goes.
