Keep asking for update Directx libraries

[Gamez Boy]

Hello, everyone. I'm new here. OK, lets skip the formality. I recently just installed PCSX2 1.2.1, which is the latest version on my notebook ASUS that came with Windows 8.1 already installed. The problem is, every time I change GS plugin in configuration window for Gsdx, it keep me asking for updating the Directx library, whereas, the Directx is already installed to the latest version on the notebook.

For your information, I even had Directx 11 installed and Directx 9.0c also already installed. Even I rebooting each time I installed Directx and uninstalled and reinstalled PCSX2 a few times, but it keep asking me for install the Directx libraries, although my notebook had Directx completely installed to very latest version, and I had checking to make sure there aren't any missing required dll files for PCSX2 program.

And one more thing, I read the log and found out that Gsdx can't find the d3dx9_43.dll, but it strange, since I had these file installed in my system, but still, can't be found, even I tried to copy and paste d3dx9_43.dll to PCSX2 directory, the gsdx still can't find it. Need someone's help here to find the cause of these problem. I don't know what else I can do.

Below is the log for my PCSX2, in case someone is need it. I also provide a screenshot.

try installing the redistributable version from here.

try installing the redistributable version from here.

Already did it, but it didn't work. Even Directx 2008 also didn't solve it.

[jesalvein]

are you sure you tried installing the one provided in ssakash 's link ? (and not some web updater...)
did you try updating your gpu drivers ?

[ssakash]

you are missing a dll file, try reinstalling it. (or) just google and directly download the dll file and place it in the directory where you installed your OS. ( though , this method is not advisable at most conditions)

PS: yeah, make sure to update your gpu drivers also.

[Brock lessner]

try restarting the Windows after installing redistributable

[Brock lessner]

thank you jesalvein ,to remove the post as ss akash already suggested the link above . ,

@op - do this ,


1)extract the redistribution to desire folder .
2) goto that folder
3) select dxsetup.exe
4) install that one will possibly fix the issue.

[Gamez Boy]

Yeah, already tried the one that ssakash provided, and already installed gpu driver to latest version, and my system has already had d3dx9_43.dll installed but i don't know why pcsx2 still can't detect it.

Brock lessner:
Already did that, and restarting the windows, and still didn't work.

[jesalvein]

what if you run pcsx2 as admin ?

[Gamez Boy]

Still didn't work too.
