I needed to install LFS on a fresh laptop with Windows 8.1 and dicovered that it's pretty much impossible to be able to successfully play LFS if you don't know how to properly get and install Direct X9.

During or after the installation LFS produces an error saying that it needs DX9 and then opens the browser with; https://www.lfs.net/dx9 .. The problem is that this page is now redirecting to a Windows 10 promotion page instead of a Direct X9 bundle setup.

I recommend providing DX9 during the installation (like Rfactor does)
Or redirect to http://filehippo.com/download_directx/
Or provide this package from the LFS website itself.

Litro reported that it still doesn't work in Windows 10;

Quote from Litro :

This link didnt worked for me yesterday,I was using fresh Windows 10. Downloaded it, but when installing it didnt give map where to save it(i tried LFS, system, system32 but no success). When lauched LFS.exe it gave error - could not load d3dcompiler_43.dll
Then i tried this link, and it worked without problems - http://downloads.tomsguide.com/DirectX,0301-2158.html
