I downloaded World of Tanks, I hit play, it says "The code execution cannot proceed because d3dx9_43.dll is missing". Reinstalling the program may fix this problem. I tried that twice, didn't work. Looked in system 32 folder, there is no d3dx9_43.dll, it goes from d3dx9_24.dll to d3dx9_32.dll. I've read a lot of post on the forums, and what I guess I need to know is: should Directx 12 have that dll? or maybe I should find a driver update for my display adapter. Or any suggestions. I have a Windows 10, HP p7-1446s, AMD A10-5700 processor, with a Radeon HD graphics.

Danny, if you got the game from Microsoft Store app, then the Updates are delivered in the Store's Settings at top right under Downloads and Updates.
Otherwise the error can be caused because the game requires an older version of Direct X End User Runtime. Install it from here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/detail...
If that doesn't fix it then here is how to directly apply the missing .dll file: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8siMuzVumhM
Keep us posted.
Hi, Danny.
I've had this problem several times before myself. DX12 does come will all older versions, but it's not always reliable. I usually fix it by downloading the DX9 runtime and installing it. The runtime can be found by following the link below.
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/detail...
Note, this isn't a 100% certain fix, but it usually works for me. Also, the installer will extract the files to a folder, and from there you need to run DXSETP.exe.
Please let me know if this fixes your issue.
The bottom link worked!!!!!!! I did have to go to another site to download the file, the one in the video had changed. Thanks a ton
Thanks, but I couldn't get the compatibility to work either.
You lost me. Microsoft Store settings for downloads and updates? Also, my driver is 2 years old, and I am having trouble finding a newer driver.
