Photoshop CC fix D3DCompiler_47.dll is missing from your computer… [SOLVED]
A question from reader Henry:
Hi. Today I did a fresh install of windows 7 pro on my lenovo thinkpad.
Then I try to install adobe photoshop cc but I got an error when running the application:
“D3DCompiler_47.dll is missing from your computer….”
I reinstalled everything but that did not help.
Can you help me with this dll problem? Thanks,
–Henry
