I've tried the following remedies:
-reverting the directx version to a previous one through regedit
-command prompt sfc /scannow
-command prompt sfc /scannow in safe mode
-verifying game integrity
-deleting all associated files and re downloading them several times
-disabling firewall
-downloading a new dsound.dll and swapping it out in the system32 folder
-launching in windowed mode
-updating video card drivers
-updating sound card drivers
Im not sure what the issue is but i cannot get the dxsetup.exe to work or if thats even the problem.
