Demo doesnt work because X3DAudio1_6.dll was not found

[Tuntsa 10]

So yeah, I downloaded Arma Demo and I extracted with WinRaR. I installe it to Program Files Folder, and when to installition was finished and I tried to run to game, there came this error message:

This application has failed to start because X3DAudio1_6.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

So I reinstalled the game, I wasn't though sure did the error message mean X3DAudio1_6.dll application or the Arma Demo. I re-installed to Progran Files (x86) folder, because my every is there. And when I finished the installiton and restarted the computer.

Then i tried to run the game again, but that same error message appeared. Which was:

This application has failed to start because X3DAudio1_6.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

I didn't have any problems during the installition except, that when it installed Unistall settings, the installition freezed for about 1 minute, and was not responding. But I didn't have to cancel the installition and it finishen it.

I extracted it with old WinRaR, so the WinRaR said I should buy WinRaR, but I just canceled it and extracted the game though.

So what could be the problem? Should I reinstall WinRaR and then extract it again? Or should I reinstall X3DAudio1_6.dll application? How do I reinstall it?

So yeah, help is needed! I need to test demo first, because I want to see, how it works on my PC!

I'm not a good with computers so let's do this simple...

I reinstalled it again this time to Steam/Steamapps/(my account name)/And here comes the ARMA 2 DEMO.

So is now in right folder?

Then when I look to ARMA 2 DEMO folder, I see that I dont have a DirectX folder. Should I install it too? Where can i get it? And what do I exactly do with a directx_mar2009_redist ?

I saw a DXSETUP on ARMA 2 DEMO folder and I ran it and it installed something, but there arma 2 folder hadn't any new folders.

AND REALLY Im not good with computers so simple steps!

Thanks.

You won't see any new folder in the ArmA2 demo directory. It updated DirectX9 to the more recent version so that the game can run properly. Most games when you install will prompt this automatically during installation to ensure your DX version is up-to-date enough to ensure your game will run properly.

If you can run the demo without getting the error, then you did everything right.

Cant run it. Same error message. I think I should use somehow directx_mar2009_redist, but i dont know how.
