Methods for Fixing D3dx9_42.dlllink

ATTENTION! Before beginning the installation of the D3dx9_42.dll library, you must download the library. If you don't know how to download the library or if you are having a problem while downloading, you can look at our download guide a few lines above.

Method 1: Installing the D3dx9_42.dll Library to the Windows System Directorylink

  1. The file you will download is a compressed file with the '.zip' extension. You cannot directly install the '.zip' file. Because of this, first, double-click this file and open the file. You will see the library named 'D3dx9_42.dll' in the window that opens. Drag this library to the desktop with the left mouse button. This is the library you need.
  2. Copy the 'D3dx9_42.dll' library file you extracted.
  3. Paste the dynamic link library you copied into the 'C:WindowsSystem32' directory.
  4. If your system is 64 Bit, copy the 'D3dx9_42.dll' library and paste it into 'C:WindowssysWOW64' directory.
    NOTE! On 64 Bit systems, you must copy the dynamic link library to both the 'sysWOW64' and 'System32' directories. In other words, both directories need the 'D3dx9_42.dll' library.
  5. In order to run the Command Line as an administrator, complete the following steps.
    NOTE! In this explanation, we ran the Command Line on Windows 10. If you are using one of the Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista or Windows XP operating systems, you can use the same methods to run the Command Line as an administrator. Even though the pictures are taken from Windows 10, the processes are similar.
    1. First, open the Start Menu and before clicking anywhere, type 'cmd' but do not press Enter.
    2. When you see the 'Command Line' option among the search results, hit the 'CTRL' + 'SHIFT' + 'ENTER' keys on your keyboard.
    3. A window will pop up asking, 'Do you want to run this process?'. Confirm it by clicking to 'Yes' button.
  6. Paste the command below into the Command Line window that opens and hit the Enter key on your keyboard. This command will delete the D3dx9_42.dll library's damaged registry (It will not delete the file you pasted into the System32 directory, but will delete the registry in Regedit. The file you pasted in the System32 directory will not be damaged in any way).
    %windir%System32regsvr32.exe /u D3dx9_42.dll
  7. If the Windows you use has 64 Bit architecture, after running the command above, you must run the command below. This command will clean the broken registry of the D3dx9_42.dll library from the 64 Bit architecture (The Cleaning process is only with registries in the Windows Registry Editor. In other words, the dynamic link library that we pasted into the SysWoW64 directory will stay as it is).
    %windir%SysWoW64regsvr32.exe /u D3dx9_42.dll
  8. We need to make a clean registry for the dll library's registry that we deleted from Regedit (Windows Registry Editor). In order to accomplish this, copy and paste the command below into the Command Line and press Enter key.
    %windir%System32regsvr32.exe /i D3dx9_42.dll
  9. If you are using a 64 Bit operating system, after running the command above, you also need to run the command below. With this command, we will have added a new library in place of the damaged D3dx9_42.dll library that we deleted.
    %windir%SysWoW64regsvr32.exe /i D3dx9_42.dll
  10. If you did the processes in full, the installation should have finished successfully. If you received an error from the command line, you don't need to be anxious. Even if the D3dx9_42.dll library was installed successfully, you can still receive error messages like these due to some incompatibilities. In order to test whether your dll issue was fixed or not, try running the program giving the error message again. If the error is continuing, try the 2nd Method to fix this issue.

Method 2: Copying The D3dx9_42.dll Library Into The Program Installation Directorylink

  3. Copy the D3dx9_42.dll library into the directory we opened up.
  4. That's all there is to the installation process. Run the program giving the dll error again. If the dll error is still continuing, completing the 3rd Method may help fix your issue.
