You can either download and install it yourself here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-nz/download/details.aspx?id=8109
Or Right click Automation in Steam, Properties. Local Files, Browse Local Files. _CommonRedist, DirectX, Jun2010 and run DXSETUP.exe
Hopefully that'll fix it.
Here's what I have in the details of the error message if it helps:
See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF.
To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1.
Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging.
To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog].

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.
For example:
<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>
When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.
That is weird, the Error basically states that it can't find the appropriate DirectX assembly, which the Redist should fix. Sounds like something more fundamental is broken with your .net framework install.
It might be worth uninstalling, and reinstalling the .net Framework 3.5 ( https://www.microsoft.com/en-nz/download/details.aspx?id=25150 )
And then trying the directX redist again.
Steps for reinstalling .net Framework 3.5 can be found here: http://imgur.com/a/7cSQX
