On my windows XP machine when I try to install the DirectX SDK the setup freezes on the first screen.

When I click on the "next" button the system does some processing and stays on the same window. Clicking again on the next button does nothing.

The directX SDK log only contains a single entry for each try: 12/01/09 09:49:03: DXSDKSetup: CLR version number = 2.0.50727

any ideas?

Thank you!

Try turning off System Restore. I just had the same problem yesterday and turning it off fixed it right away. (Although this was with Windows 7.)

Is there anything insightful in the install log?

%WINDIR%\Logs\DirectX_SDK.log

Specifically look for any error message or error codes that might help debug the problem. Consider editing your original question with any new information.
