this file keeps ending up missing and i cant seem to get it to work i tried to use the Microsoft trouble shoot but the site says it was discontinued due to damage it caused to computers so is there any other way to fix this i have reinstalled it three times now and same file keeps popping up as missing and its probably what causes the game interface failing to start up.

That file is part of the dx9c installation. DX10/11 are not backward compatible so Vista/W7/w8 comes with a bare bone dx9c files to allow generic 9c only games to run but does not have all of the necessary modules game devs may use. Now, depending on manufacturer of the system DX9c may be updated but that is a rare cookie.

Get either the initial small download and run it

Or the large download (I prefer this one as it will overwrite any possible corrupted files).

On the large one, it needs to be unpacked/unzipped to a temp folder, then run the dxsetup.exe from there.
