Scourge of War Boards

I tried to start the game for the first time since the update and I new get the following error message "unable to start the program missing d3dx9_43.dll. Reinstall program"

Anyone else have this issue... have not tried to reinstall yet.

I find the file in
C:\windows\system32
and
C:\windows\syswow64
with a timestamp from 2010.
Can it be from Directx? Re-install Directx from Microsoft might help ...

Edit: googled the filename it is indeed from DirectX. So re-install DirectX,
but NEVER simply download the file directly from Internet!

might help.?

Thanks for the advice...I found Direct X...it asked where to load the files...does it get loaded in the SOW Waterloo folder?

No this is the temporary directory where unpack the files of installation, select a temp directory and after execute the dxsetup.exe you find inside

Ok after rereading the link to the other discussion I need to load the Direct X files into a temp file and then extract the one I need...there are two d3dx9_43.dll files, one is 43x86 and one 43x64...which one?

No, you need to execute the exe you downloaded, it will ask you a directory where extract the files; gives the c:\temp directory, after the extraction go inside c:\temp, find the dxsetup.exe and execute it; gives ok to the install process. After the end of this, the game should work

That corrected the problem...thanks for the help!
