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.

i'm on the toilet, on my laptop, on vacation with no internets looking to play bf2 just because i can.

needless to say this site was convenient? thanks.

Posted by anonymous at August 8, 2006, 9:22pm. Category: content.

Nice one guys, what would I have done without you. Resolved the DirectX problem nice and easy, without following the stupid and useless Microsoft instruction which was to re-install the software.
What a shame, if only Microsoft had been that informative in the first place. Cheers

Nic

Posted by lutelian (site) at July 27, 2006, 4:41pm. Category: content.

Hey,
You guys are awesome...
I recently uninstalled Everquest from my computer and when I reinstalled it and tried to run it it would say I was missing a component.
The .dll file fixed it like nothing. I actually think it's running better now than it was before...
but maybe I just don't remember right...haha.

Posted by Psyco at July 23, 2006, 11:57pm. Category: content.

very thankful i found this page and the solution, couldn't bear to d/l EQ all over again! thanks much =D
