Unable to Locate Component

[sheldon32]

I installed the game from the retail disc and downloaded the latest update from the men of war website. Whenever I try to start the game with any version a window pops up and says

"mow.exe - unable to locate component

This application has failed to start because d3dx9_38.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem."

I have tried to reinstall it already and i get the same thing.

thanx for help
