Download and install this:

Download DirectX Redistributable 9.0c November 2008 - A very useful application for running and displaying applications rich in multimedia elements - Softpedia

Unless you for some reason distrust softpedia ofcourse... I've installed that version and it's fine. It's the latest directx redistributable.

Age of Conan works great after installing the mirrored dxsetup from softpedia. I know that for a fact.

No that softpedia link is correct it's DX 10 for vista 64. You can also try these links. Got them off the Conan boards. The downloader didn't work for me either.

Not sure which is for 64 is not both.
