Download D3DX DLLs (d3dx9_xx.dll, d3dx10_xx.dll)


Trying to run a recent DirectX application and getting errors about missing DLLs? If you're missing d3dx9_24.dll, d3dx9_25.dll, d3dx9_26.dll, d3dx9_27.dll, d3dx9_28.dll, d3dx9_29.dll, d3dx9_30.dll, d3dx9_31.dll, d3dx9_32.dll, d3dx9_33.dll, d3dx9_34.dll, d3dx9_35.dll, d3dx9_36.dll, D3DX9_37.dll, D3DX9_38.dll, d3dx10_33.dll, d3dx10_34.dll, d3dx10_35.dll, d3dx10_36.dll, d3dx10_37.dll or d3dx10_38.dll (this list sure is getting long! - Ed), you've come to the right place.
Microsoft have made some changes to their practices regarding updates to D3DX (an optional component of DirectX), and these changes have led to end users experiencing missing DLL problems. (I've written at greater length about this phenomenon, but in short: Developers are supposed to install the DLLs as part of the DirectX setup part of their installation. Either they're not, or users are cancelling the DirectX part because they think "I already have DirectX 9!" Anyway...) Because Google seems to like my site, I'm hosting the required files here in that hope that people searching for them will find this page easily.
Please note: The XInput DLLs (xinput1_1.dll, xinput1_2.dll, xinput1_3.dll, and xinput9_1_0.dll) have moved to their own page - the unimaginatively named XInput DLL page.

Download

Please download only the file that the application asks for, to save my bandwidth! Check the error message carefully, because the filenames are quite similar.
All the DLLs are compressed into ZIP archives to save bandwidth. To install a DLL, extract it from its archive, and place it in your C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 folder (or equivalent). If your PC doesn't know what to do with ZIP files, install the free archiving tool 7-zip.
These files are hosted here without permission from Microsoft, and will be removed if anyone important complains.
If you fancy donating a few units of some currency towards my hosting bills, that would be nice! Just click on the PayPal link:

There shouldn't be any passwords. Are you getting asked for one when you try to download, or when you try to extract the DLL from the ZIP?

thanks bro!, needed to play lost planet, thanks alot, appreciate the effort

Posted by anonymous at May 21, 2007, 6:01pm. Category: content.

Lost Planet requires Shader Model 3.0 support, which effectively means you need at least a Geforce 6 series or Radeon X1000 series card.

The message you're seeing suggests that your video card only supports Shader Model 1.4. You probably have an old R200-based Radeon (models 8500 through 9250), which is now 3 or 4 generations behind the cutting edge.

On a related note, I tried Lost Planet on my 6800GS, and it was pretty slow, so what it requires to run, and what it requires to run well, are two different things :-)

Posted by pwr (site) at May 21, 2007, 12:02am. Category: content.

I've downloaded the .dll, tried to extract to System32 / System and even to Lost Planet root directory, and I still get this message: ' Unsupported pixel shader version 1.4 ' :(

/needs help

Thanks :P

Anonymous, you need to be more specific if you want anyone to help you. What game are you trying to play, and exactly what error message(s) are you seeing? Did you read the instructions above about where to extract the DLL?

Posted by pwr (site) at May 20, 2007, 3:03pm. Category: content.

Been search for d2dx9_33 dll...thx mate !!!

Posted by Ogo at May 17, 2007, 10:33pm. Category: content.

For anyone still having issues with Lost Planet, just put the d3dx9_33.dll or d3dx10_33.dll file in the root directory for Lost Planet (eg. Program Files/Capcom/Lost Planet DX10 Trial). I think you can also put the DLL's in your Windows directory for the same result. Great site, btw!

Posted by John at May 17, 2007, 2:56pm. Category: content.

Great website. Thanks for the resource. Some websites try to charge for these. Your giving them away for free. I'll click on some web links to help your site. Needed d3dx9_33.dll for Lost Planet Dx 9.

Posted by buzznjackal at May 17, 2007, 1:35pm. Category: content.
