Skyrim SE won't play due to missing dll files? Please help?
Installed Skyrim and when I press play nothing happens. When I try to run the game as an administrator I receive 3 errors. The code execution cannot proceed because XINPUT1_3.dll / X3DAudio1_7.dll /d3dx9_42.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem.

I've tried reinstalling four times with no success and my computer specifications meet the game requirements. Any attempt to install an older version of Direct X failed. What can I do to fix this issue?

System Specs
Windows 10 Pro

Manufacturer: MSI
Processor: Intel Core i7-9700k @ 3.60GHz
Ram: 16 GB
System type: 64-bit operating system

Direct X Version 12

DirectX Runtime June 2010 installation failed. I got a DirectX Setup error

"An internal system error occured/ PLease refer to DXerror.log and DirectX.log in your window folder to determine problem."

Sounds like your downloading a version NOT for Windows 10.

If your problem is with Direct X, you can go to your Windows search bar and type in dxdiag.

Open this file and it will find any dx issues you are having.

I already to that. Dxdiag says "no problems have been detected" for the 4 pages (display 1, 2, sound, component)
I also try to use cmb to make an " sfc/ scannow" i find one problem and i fix it. Scan again and "nothing detected" but skyrim won't go for it.

When I go by steam I have the first window that opens (play, option, ..) but when I launch on play, nothing happens. When I launch from the hard drive I get the errorr with .dll missing.

maybe it can help, as soon as I launch any game from steam, I have a little window that says 'install microsoft dirextX for windows

(sorry for my english i'm french |:) )

steam needs to update some files on your hard disk. perhaps the dll's have been installed but if steam is not updating its files, they are still marked as absent.

run steam once with admin permission then verify the game files to install any possibly missing files and to update the steam files. run the game to see if the problem stops.

check your antivirus - might be blocking steam/game.

The latest supported Visual C++ downloads
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003

Copy the latest x64 first then x86
Extradope Mar 18, 2020 @ 9:31am 
I downloaded and installed both files.
Then i try to launch the dxwebsetup and i got this message "an internal system error has occurred. check the DXError.log andDirectX.log files located in the windows folder to determine the problem."

perhaps read those files and see what the problem is?
