Is this approach may applies on some games similar to this .dll problem?


Yes, you may fix similar problem on .dll missing by installing directx on your computer. Some .dll missing can be fix by installing directx on your windows system.

If we have freshly installed windows on our system we might encountered this problem. Windows detects our video cards and installed it on the system but does not install directx automatically. Old games needs old directx. So, even if you have newer directx its better to install the old directx if there are problems like .dll missing when running games.
