HOW TO CONFIRM DIRECTX9.0c DLL’S
Even if you already have DirectX10/11, your PC should contain the following DLL files in the (32-bit) C:\Windows\System32
or (64-bit) C:\Windows\SysWow64 folders.
The DLL’s are included with the
DirectX 9.0c Redistributable.
HOW TO CONFIRM .NET FRAMEWORK 3.5.1
Go to Start > Control Panel > Programs and Features > Turn Windows
Features On or Off, and look for "Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.1"
(make sure its checked on)
Go to Start
> Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs, and look for “Microsoft.NET
Framework 3.5.1”
If .NET 3.5 SP1 is missing, download the
Framework from here. (Note that .NET 4.0 does not include the same files
as .NET 3.5 SP1)

files as XNA 3.1)

the older versions if the stable versions do not run.
