Had the same problem when i tried to run an older game on Windows-10, it complained about a missing dll
d3dx9_41.dll
.You can download the 'DirectX end user runtimes' from Microsofts website. The exact version depends on the file which is required by your application, in my case it was directx_mar2009_redist.exe.
To find the correct version i analyzed the error message. If the missing file is for example
d3dx9_41.dll
, it means that DirectX-9 version 41 is required. The list below shows the available DirextX-9 versions, the version can be found at the third column. This gives you a clue of what to search for, the keywords directx Mar2009
lead me to the microsoft download page.Maybe it is also possible to just install the latest one from June 2010, i'm not sure if it contains the earlier versions too.

The DirectX built into Windows 10 is compatible with DirectX 9, 10 and 11.
So you shouldn't try to install an older DirectX version manually at all. You can really screw up your Windows installation that way.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of programs (mainly old games) that try to install DirectX by themselves or test for the presence of a certain DirectX version in an incorrect way, which causes them to miss that DirectX is already present.
There is really no good solution to that.
Film production companies in india. If the installer of the old program is brain dead you can't really cure that.

Sometimes it helps to run the installer in 'compatibility mode' for XP-SP3.
In some other cases, you can force the installer to continue anyway and the game will just work despite the errors during the installation.
And sometimes you are just out of luck.

You may have to experiment a little to see what works best in your particular case.

This guide is valid for any older game that benefits and runs on old DirectX versions.
Microsoft DirectX is a collection of application programming interfaces (APIs) for handling tasks related to multimedia, but especially game programming and video, on Microsoft platforms, such as your Windows Operating System.
Originally, the names of these APIs all began with Direct, such as Direct3D, DirectDraw, DirectMusic, DirectPlay, DirectSound, and so on. The name DirectX was formed as a short form of all the APIs (the X standing in for the particular API names) and later became the name of the whole collection of APIs. When Microsoft laterdecided to develop a gaming console, the X was used as the basis of the name Xbox to indicate that the console was based on the same DirectX technology. The X initial has been carried forward in the naming of APIs designed for the Xbox such as XInput and the Cross-platform Audio Creation Tool (XACT), while the DirectX pattern has been continued for Windows APIs such as Direct2D and DirectWrite.
Windows 10 comes packed with the newest edition of DirectX 12. My favorite game SWTOR and many other older game titles use DirectX 9. In order for it to display its beauty, the system needs to emulate all the DirectX 9 effects, which may slow it down and result in a poor performance.
By installing the DirectX 9 package manually, we stop that process of simulation and allow our PC to use the original files the game is designed for, thus, in theory at least, speeding the process up. This installation wont make the game run smooth and flawlessly, but it will likely (Benedictdaily) boost it at least a bit. I have done this since the game’s launch in 2011 on multiple versions of Windows – Windows 7, Windows 8 + 8.1 and now Windows 10.

DirectX 9 does not replace DirectX 11 or DirectX 12, it adds additional libraries to be used by games and software that is designed to best work with them.

The installation is simple. Download the file from the link I have provided below (leading to the official Microsoft website) and install with no manual changes during the process. By doing that, you DO NOT remove the DirectX 12, no, it just installs extra libraries and gives the game you play an option which ones to use. If the game can benefit from DirectX 11 or 12, it WILL use those. There is no overriding or replacing, the installation just adds another layer.

One last note. Installing DirectX 9 does not hurt your system, it will not break anything. The link provided below is from Microsoft’s official website.
You can download the old DirectX 9 from here:

If you have any troubles, leave a comment and let me know of YOUR experience. Did DirectX 9 improve the performance of the game for you or it feels and acts exactly the same as before.
