When I run DirectX Setup, the message "Setup was completed" appears
immediately. However, DirectX is not installed.

The help on dxdiag tells me to look for more help. Cna anyone tell me how to
fix this?

If you had a problem with Directx and did an uninstall/rollback and you have SP3 you wont be able to upgrade Directx again until you uninstall SP3.
