This did happen after installing from the newest installer. Windows 8, freshest updates.

--> I thought all required functionality was included within the installer. --> did checking of prereqs go wrong?

Installer searches within system directory (c:\windows\system32) for that file:

Code: Select all

Function DirectX9Check
 ; http://www.toymaker.info/Games/html/d3dx_dlls.html
  IfFileExists "$SYSDIR\d3dx9_43.dll" DirectXInstalled

Maybe Windows 8 requires some testing.

I think Windows 8 requires some rejection.

Looks like we need it to also check for:

  IfFileExists "$SYSDIR\d3dx9_42.dll" DirectXInstalled
