Please help...

I'm having some trouble.

I need to download Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition, August 2007 DirectX 9.0 SDK, and Dark GDK so I can do homework for programming class.

I downloaded Visual C++ and did a test program so the compiler and debugger could run. Now I'm downloading the DirectX, and I came across an error.

"DirectX Runtime Setup Failed (-9)

An internal system error occurred. Please refer to DXError.log and DirectX.log in your windows folder to determine the problem."

I've ran into this before, disregarded it, let the rest run, and I've gotten compiler errors before.

Any help on the matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Holy shit, this possibly isn't a troll.
Bro, if your school told you that you need Visual Studio, DirectX, and "Dark GDK" all to be installed, and they don't install correctly, then you need to work it out with the professor.  If you really are the only one in the entire school having this problem, then you really are just hopeless.
