Missing DLL errors

d3dx11_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.

What it is

A DirectX 11 helper library from the legacy D3DX set. As with the DirectX 9 versions, Windows does not include these even though it includes DirectX 11 itself.

Where you see it: Games from roughly 2010 to 2015 built against the D3DX helper libraries.
