Phoenix upgrading problems

[Stretch79]

Hi guys, upgrading the sim 2.5 to 5 and I'm getting this error.

The program cant start because d3dx9_43.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

Anyone know how I can sort this?

for windows 8.1

Thanks all

Hello Stretch
I think (d3dx9_43.dll is missing from your computer) is a directX thing, if you google the error message it will guide you....

Ok thanks bud. I'll look up direct x and see what happens. Thanks for that.

Microsoft provide an update for directX that will sort this out, I had the same problem on Windows 7

Google directX update and run the updater and you should be ok.

Sweet. Looks like sim flying tonorrow. Thanks.

Trying to download it. Windows says it isn't possible in windows 8.1? This right? Maybe I've got wrong sim? It's saying I've got directx 11. Surely that would work?

Look at waveydavy's sticky post at the top of this section. Upgrade from there.

Thanks boggy.

I saw that post but didn't think that would work as I was only missing the directx 9 update, been trying all day but have sorted it out now. appreciate the help.
