Проблемы с DirectX 9.0c в Heroes 5 [d3dx9_25.dll]

Basically, I downloaded the game, installed it, and applied a NoCD crack.

Discussing and distributing the pirated version of Heroes of Might and Magic 5 is prohibited on our portal.

However, this question should be answered because it is generally relevant even for the licensed version of Heroes of Might and Magic 5.

d3dx9_25.dll is a library component of one of the versions of DirectX 9.0c. Each update comes with a new additional library. As far as I know, there are already d3dx9_26.dll, d3dx9_27.dll, and even d3dx9_28.dll.

For the game to work, you need to download the latest version of Directx 9.0c from the Microsoft website - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=2DA43D38-DB71-4C1B-BC6A-9B6652CD92A3&displaylang=en

There is also a separate page on the Microsoft website regarding this issue -
