It says the installation is complete and the components installed are ready to use, but dxdiag says I'm still using version 7. The installation was also instantaneous, there was no bar being filled or anything.
Direct X is notorious for problems with uninstall reinstall. 
Try 8.1 see if you can install that first.

I found an 8.1 setup and ran it. It went through the whole install process but dxdiag says I'm still running version 7.0. I also explored the HoI2 disc and tried the 8.0 installer on that, but the results were the same.
When I run the disc, the closest thing to 'repair install' is just 'install windows XP', and when I click that it tells me the setup cannot continue because the version of windows on my computer is newer than that on the cd.
Is there somewhere else I run repair install from?

go to add/remove programs and remove the service pack(s).
As always when messing with the O/S, Back up any critical data first.
