Hi there,
I installed Skyrim in my Parallels 14 VM, and after installing some mods it said 'd3dx9_43.dll' is missing at game startup and crashed. I saw that this was a common problem with the game / mods itself and the solution was to download the d3dx9_43.dll (Microsoft DirectX 9.0c) from the Microsoft website. I did this in my Windows 10 VM as described and it now runs without showing the error at startup:
My question really is whether it is okay to install these DirectX components from Microsoft in the Parallels VM environment? I thought that Parallels had to supply its own version of DirectX, and the versions from Microsoft wouldn't work on the Parallels VM, or am I incorrect in assuming this? I am thinking the latter as the game now starts after installing the DirectX package from Microsoft.
