I'm trying to run Elite Dangerous Launcher, yet I keep getting following error:

the program can't start because xinput1_3.dll is missing from your computer

According to: How to install the latest version of DirectX, DirectX is ALREADY installed on my Windows 8.1 system.

Why am I getting this error then? How do I actually solve this?

Install DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer

That file is a part of the DirectX 9 runtime, which is NOT bundled with Windows 8.1. You can install a DirectX compatibility package from here: DirectX End-User Runtimes (June 2010).

Installing this bundle should solve your problem with xinput1_3.dll as well as anything related to d3dx11_43.dll, d3dx10_43.dll, D3DX9_43.dll, XAudio2_7.dll and others.

Can you still find xinput1_3.dll on the PC? Get a new copy of it to replace the old one may help solve the problem. The methods mentioned in the following posts may be working:
