IL-2 '46 Instalation problems Win 10 & DirectX Compatability Issues

[310thCopperhead]

So I just blew 1500.00 on a new ROG rig. and decided to dig up The original IL-2 & 1946 and install them on the new pc. Which I upgraded to win 10 straight from the both. (checking M4T ppl have had some success with installing 1946 on Win 10 pc's. ) Once I got past the compatibility issues with the sim & win 10, (it will install as vista/XP compatible in win 10)
Then I hit the next Wall. DIRECT X. From the DVD IL-2 1946 comes with Direct X 9.1c on the DVD and requires that to be installed to finish the installation.

PROBLEM: direct x 9.1c is not compatible with windows 10!!!!



Now as I've taught my kids......never focus on the problem....focus on the solution. But this one has got me freakin stumped!!!

HELP!!!

Does anyone have a fix for this?
Thanks.
