So i had a issue with the D3DCOMPILER_43.dll not being on my new laptop when i bought it and tried running Bo2 through plutonium, tried researching found ppl saying you need DirectX 9 to be downloaded. found that the download was missing "404 Page not found" from the official Microsoft website.
Other solutions to this was running "dxsetup.exe" "from the game files" which is real vague and completely useless because i searched my entire pc and there wasnt a single file with that name on it.
after this i made a post on the microsoft forums they responded in less then a day which was very convenient.
giving this:
This is the link:

After giving you this link stuff should be fine, the rest of this is just further guide is you have troubles
After downloading, create a folder in programfiles and call it DirectX, like so
.
It will download many files as you can see in the next photo
Scroll down to "DXSETUP" and launch the .exe
This should successfully allow you to launch the game.
Comment if you have any issues.
