Research direction
Start by locating the launcher code that places d3dx9_25.dll directly into SysWOW64, then review how the linked official DirectX End-User Runtimes package could fit that flow. Done means the launcher uses the official runtime rather than dropping the DLL directly, while preserving the required client setup.
