Try installing DX manually before installing the game.

Press the Windows key + R and type...

d:\resources\DirectX\DXSETUP.EXE

Replace d with the letter of your DVD drive. If it freezes / errors during this process, let me know and include the details of any errors.

If you have a decent internet connection, just link the CD-Key to your Steam account and click download.
