… A Case Study!

A friend bought a new laptop … she downloaded the latest version of MikuMikuDance … and she experienced what has become …
the standard MMD error messages.

We worked together to fix MikuMikuDance so that it was running on her new computer.

Editors Note 10/26/2015:
The VPVP page recommends that you download and install:

Regular MikuMikuDance
(32-Bit)
If cannot move, please install following runtime package.
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package
DirectX End-User Runtime

64-Bit MikuMikuDance 
If cannot move, please install following runtime package.
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x64)
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x64)
DirectX End-User Runtime

She first asked me about the infamous MMD Side-by-Side Configuration error. Experience has shown that you must download and install the Microsoft C++ 2008 redistributable.
For either 32-bit version, or 64-bit version, (depending on which version of MMD you have; keep in mind that 32-bir MMD *can* run on 64-bit Windows, but not vice versa) get your download here:

After installing the C++ 2008, she next got the Missing DLL message …

d3dx9_32.dll was not found

There are a couple of ways around this error … the most simple is to Download the DirectX 9c update available from our LearnMMD Downloads page.

She downloaded the DirectX 9c update … then she tried to open MMD …

SUCCESS!

I hope YOUR MikuMikuDance goes this smoothly! Next step is to go to our Getting Started with MMD Step-by-Step page and start enjoying your MikuMikuDance!
