Missing DLL errors

d3dx10_43.dll

This file belongs to DirectX End-User Runtime. Install that package and the DLL arrives with it, in the right place and correctly registered.

Do not download this DLL on its own

Searching for a missing DLL by name leads to sites that hand you that single file. It is one of the oldest and most effective malware delivery methods there is, and a system DLL from an unknown source is indistinguishable from a deliberately modified one. There is never a legitimate reason to obtain a runtime component that way.
