D3DCompiler_42.dll (Colin McRae: DiRT 2)
Formatted the computer, reinstalled Windows at night, 7 Ultimate x86 SP1 ...After installing the game and all the necessary components, it gives an error:
"The application could not be started because D3DCompiler_42.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application can fix this problem."
No, it did not fix the problem, I reinstalled 3 different versions 3 times ...
I looked for this DLL on the internet, but could not find it ... Can anyone share or suggest an action plan ??
If you have DX11 then install the August updates and the problem will disappear. I checked it myself;)
I don’t know correctly or not, and whether it does not affect performance, I just changed D3DCompiler_41.dll to D3DCompiler_42.dll (in windows system32, if anyone does not know) ..
I managed to solve the problem as follows: I
installed the DirectX Software Development Kit (DirectX SDK) for August 2009,
you can download it from here http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/confirmation.aspx?familyId=b66e14b8-8505-4b17- bf80-edb2df5abad4 & displayLang = en (click Start Download immediately)
Good luck)
In short, misha_bill is 100% right. Only in addition to fixes in Windows system32 D3DCompiler_41, the file d3dx9_42.dll is also needed for _42.It can be taken here: http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/pop.php?d3dx9_42
And what Drugmonster88 offers - 553mb - who knows how to wait?
Guys, install DirectX from the disk and do not fool yourself and people into a brain :) and you will be happy :)
Help. The same garbage. Only now I downloaded this file, installed it, but it still requires it. DX from the disk (archive) is not installed, because as it says, "there is no trust in the CAB file"
The first sentence seems to clearly say what needs to be done. Give him this file and there is no problem, why all these difficulties that are offered?
We just take and download the latest set from melkosoft for gamers. For example this one http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=0cef8180-e94a-4f56-b157-5ab8109cb4f5
