Half Life 2 wont go "next" after direct X

I searched alittle and didn't see any posts related to this...

I put the cd in, runs... Go through setup, get to "Install has detected direct x 9b and will not attemp to update"

then it just stops. i can go back, but cant click next

anyone?

thanks

edit:

my friend told me that he kept getting an error, so he just used his cd key to get it off steam... think this would work? i dont wanna waste a cd key doing it

I didn't know you could do CD version CD-Keys off Steam but I think they updated that so it should work.

When you register with Steam it will register the cd-key through there also, so you are mainly just choosing where to install from, internet or CD, but both will register your cd-key through steam and the internet. ¿Comprende?
