1. Start the installer as usual, get to the message that tells you about the DirectX problem, do not press OK.
2. Click the "Start" button, then click "Run", type "regedit" without quotes.
3. Go to HKEYLOCALMACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionApp PathsSimsLS.exe in the registry tree.
4. Find the key titled "DirectX Installed".
5. Change it's value from 0 to 1.
6. Press Ctrl-Alt-Tab and close the Autorun.exe process.
7. Now start the installation again. You'll skip the DirectX check this time.
