Unfortunately, Dependency Walker logs are difficult to read and usually contain a lot of items that look problematic but turn out to be harmless. In this case, the DW logs are not sufficient to pinpoint the problem. There is another tool called Process Monitor which may help pinpoint the problem. Info on how to use this tool can be found in the **Troubleshooting the problem with Procmon** section of the following support article: [Error 0xc000007b when attempting to launch the Epic Games launcher](http://help.epicgames.com/customer/en/portal/articles/2291317-error-0xc000007b-when-attempting-to-launch-the-epic-games-launcher) ---

I’m not an expert at reading Process Monitor output yet but I do have a suspicion. Perhaps you can try the following and let me know how it goes. **FIX D3DCOMPILER\_43.DLL** 1. Download the Dx11 redist from here: [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109) 2. Find and backup your current C:\Windows\System32\D3DCOMPILER\_43.dll. You can do this by renaming it to D3DCOMPILER\_43.dll\_BACKUP 3. Install the DirectX11 Redist. 4. Check to make sure you have a new D3DCOMPILER\_43.DLL 5. Try running the launcher. ---

No, each version can live alongside other versions so there is no need to attempt to do anything besides the steps I outlined above. ---

It is possible that was not the only issue. Can you run the Process Monitor, Procmon, again and post up a new set of logs? I would like to see if the steps above got you further or if you are hitting the same issue. ---

It seems you got further when attempting to startup the Epic Games Luancher. This time I see that d3dx11\_43.dll is having an issue. Can you try the same steps we ran through before but this time on d3dx11\_43.dll. This means you’ll have to run the directX install one more time(hopefully for the last time). I’m still not clear why some directX files would fail to install properly. If I could get my hands on someones backup DLLs and DirectX isntall logs I could probably track things down better. In any case, here are the steps again: **FIX d3dx11\_43.dll** 1. Download the Dx11 redist from here: [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109) 2. Find and backup your current C:\Windows\System32\d3dx11\_43.dll. You can do this by renaming it to d3dx11\_43.dll\_BACKUP 3. Install the DirectX11 Redist. 4. Check to make sure you have a new d3dx11\_43.dll 5. Try running the launcher again. ---

Wow, I am not sure why your DirectX install is giving you so much trouble. Until your case we have only ever seen one file that was misbehaving. The fact that you had to force the install of so many may be an indication of a bigger issue. It is hard to say but my guess is that now X3DAudio1\_7.dll is the problem. This is another DirectX dll so the same steps you ran through above. ---
