I am running Vista Home Premium 64bit with a Nvidia video card that
handles DirectX 10, I thought I had DirectX 10 installed but Lost
Planet complained about this missing D3DX10_33.DLL. I went to this
website and downloaded their latest DirectX 10, but why does it give
me DirectX 9?

I had to download this file elsewhere and move it manually to
Windows\SYSWOW64.

I does seem like a poor way to install a program.
