The program can't start because d3dx9_27.dll is missing . . .


Windows 10 x64

An application, at first launch, reports the "The program can't start because d3dx9_27.dll is missing"

Noticed that whilst doing a search on this d3dx9_27.dll it mostly involves old threads and I am unsure as to whether I need to update Windows 10 with old drivers or so.

Any suggestions would be appreciate.

The program can't start because d3dx9_34.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix the problem.

Hi Vivek,

Thank you for posting in Community.

Before we proceed, I would like you to provide the information stated below:

1. Does the game meet the system requirements?

2. Which version of DirectX is currently installed in your PC?

3. Do you face this issue only with this game in question?

d3dx9_34.dll errors typically appear when a software program, usually a game, is started. Occasionally, d3dx9_34.dll errors will display after a game is loaded but right before the game starts.

With respect to the .dll error I would suggest that you perform the methods that are mentioned belo and check.

Method 1:

Re boot your system and try running the game and check.

Method 2:

Un-install and re-install the game and check if you still receive the same .dll error.

Method 3:

Download the latest Direct X updates from the official Microsoft website

Set Cryptographic Services to automatic and then try to install the program again. To set the Cryptographic Services to
Automatic, follow these steps:

• Open Run Command (Windows button + R)
• In the dialog box type services.msc
• Locate Cryptographic Services,
• Double click on it.
• Click Automatic for Startup type, and then click
  Start.

Hope this information helps.
