    Hi Abhishek,

    Some applications and games require DirectX 9. However, your computer includes a more recent version of DirectX. If you install and then run an application or game that requires DirectX 9, you might receive an error message such as "The program can't start because d3dx9_35.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."

    To resolve this issue, go to the following Microsoft website to install DirectX End-User Runtime:

    DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer

    http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=159853

    Note When you run this package, no change is made to your version of DirectX, Direct3D 9, Direct3D 10.x, Direct3D 11.x, DirectInput, DirectSound, DirectPlay, DirectShow, or DirectMusic.

    Hope this helps. Get back to us for further queries on the issue above. We are happy to help!
