cant download dll file #414

Open aris-k07 opened 1 year ago

aris-k07 commented 1 year ago

so i downloaded this on my home computer no problem. i tried to download it on my school computer, however, when i try to launch it, it says the d3dx11_43.dll is missing, so i go to the website and try to download it and it says, "access denied." im not really familiar with different types of files and the things they do, so is there any way to run this application without this dll file or to get this file a different way? thanks

Hey there @aris-k07,

A dynamic link library (DLL)--in simple words--is a collection of small programs that larger programs can load when needed to complete specific tasks.

A general fix for a problem faced by you is to download the specified DLL file from the internet, but most probably a trusted source such as from (https://www.dll-files.com/)

Now going specific to your case, there are mainly 2 kinds of permissions- Administrator and User. On your Home Computer you have the administrator permissions, but on your school computer you have User permissions, which means some functions won't be available to you.

I am not sure about why you are not able to download the file, cause that may be the issue with the browser, but after downloading you need to provide school Username most probably followed by a password, to install the file!

I hope this helps, also this is also coming from a non-expert in the field, so feel free to dive into your own research and provide me with information if you find something new ;)

Another way could be bringing the DLL file into school computer via a hard drive(Pendrive for example), but you would still need the Computer Admin Username and Password to install it.
