Is the disc damaged? That could be a reason why the setup doesn't work.

It's trying to use an older version of DirectX that the game relies on and couldn't find it. You will need to install DirectX (version on CD) before continuing.
That's highly unlikely. All DirectX versions are backward-compatible.
You can run DX 8.1 code on 9.0 as well.
That would be correct of games using DirectX 7 or higher, before that they were not so backward compatible as they are now. Case in point, MS Baseball 2000 used to use DirectX version 5 I think. I had 7 installed, wouldn't run setup until DirectX was installed.
Try running the setup command from the command prompt. This should give more details, sometimes it does, other times it doesn't. Just thinking of what has worked for me in the past.
