Everquest2.exe system error

[Orgo]

<p>I just installed Everquest 2 on a new PC, the launcher loads fine and the game has all of it's updates, but when I launch the game, I get the error message Everquest2.exe error - d3dx9_35.dll is missing. Can someone please walk me through how to fix this? thanks in advance!</p>

<p>I'm fairly sure you need to install directx9 if I remember correctly.</p>

<p>I get this error when I try to run the streaming version.  The full download version does not have this problem. Why should they be different?  Why should I install DirectX 9 when I already have DirectX 11 on my pc? That seems to me to be going backwards.</p><p>Also, you seem to be trying to install an old version or Flash Player.  Windows 7 does not like that and that part fails.  Why are you trying to install out dated software on my pc?</p>
