You should be able to manually run the DirectX install by going to the game install location and right clicking on the DXSETUP.exe and running as Administrator.
Please let us know if you have any further issue, thanks.

Generals worked without a problem
tiberium sun replies with the following message : unable to set video mode
Tiberium wars insisted on the same directx problem... internal error

Another update : after restarting again Tiberium Wars decided to be coöperative and looked really gourgous on 1920 with every setting on high 😉
