Add a notification box with a link to the latest installer (video and input 
plugin) instead of telling a certain file is missing.

If your talking about the missing DLL error, that is a DirectX error.

That one yeah. But there's really no easy way to show a more user-friendly 
error? (Because I guess most users won't really understand what's the problem 
about)

Just because your computer is able to support DX11, it does not mean it is able 
to run this since you don't have the latest runtime.

I might try adding in the dynamic linking for dx using in Dolphin-emu. Which 
should fix the error message up.

Yea I tried installing this and it said I had most recent direct x. I then 
proceeded to delete my direct x file from windows/microsoft.net/directx for 
managed got files and installed the runtime from the link.. Same message keeps 
appearing. I wonder is this because of my most recent upgrade to windows 7 32 
bit?
