Spore Reason code: Missing d3dx9_27.dll

[DanielFoxCreator]

I'm having the issue described in the article.  I tried the three steps listed here and also tried downloading the DLL's into the redist directory as described below.  None of these fixed the issue.  Any other suggestions on how to get the game to run?

I had the same problem on my son's computer. I did all of the recommended steps and still nothing. I found a setup file in the directx folder which after running it and following the steps the game ran. Go to Spore> _Installer> directx> redist. Look for DXSETUP.exe and run that. Hope this works for everyone.
