How to ONLY install directx 3 is the use of video games. Without having to install the latest version of directx?

I have an old video game of cdrom for windows 95, 98, and a message asking me to click here and there to download directx 3A. I'm going to microsoft for this and only the latest version is available and this download does not work. Msg continues to be the same, even after a few tries.

Windows 7 already comes with the latest version of DirectX installed. Have you tried to install the game in compatibility mode?

Right click on the executable file / Installer-> properties and select the Compatibility tab. Click the check box before you run this program in compatibility mode for option, and then select Windows 95/98 from the drop-down list. then try to install the game using run as administrator.

If this does not work, I suggest buy you an old copy of Windows 95 or 98 license off ebay, download for free SUN Virtual Box and install Windows 95 and 98, and run your game in there.
