    Just bought and downloaded BeamNG.drive. Trying to install on Windows 7 Professional. Install starts ok, but after some time I get the popup saying:

    "BeamNG.drive-0.3 requires a newer version of DirectX than you have installed on your computer. Would you like to launch the Microsoft DirectX web installer?"

    I say "Yes", then the BeamNG.drive installer continues with running the update, and I get the "Installation successfully installed dialog". Then when I start the game, I get:

    "Unable to load game library: ...\BeamNGSandbox.x86.dll "

    dxdiag reports that I have DirectX 11, DxDiag 6.01.7601.17514, which seems to be the latest for Windows 7, according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directx.

    Please help!

    I've got the same problem, any help would be appreciated

    OK, So I got it to work by disabling anti virus, then running the updater as administrator

    You can have Dx11 installed but on a new build make sure you get directX 9.0c on there. A new Windows 7 install will say Dx11 but will not have all 9.0c files installed.
