I am running windows server2008R2 this might help you if your running win 7 also. I spent 3 hours on the phone with ea trying to get BF3 to work with no dice. ( not to upset had it on PS3 ) now BF4-B is out and still getting the same error. The problem I found out is that Server dose not install Directx this is why I was getting the error it could not find it because it was never installed. Even if you go to Microsoft to get the Directx exe still no dice it will not install the dll files you need. Here iswhat you want to do.

go here and at the top in blue you will see download xinput.zip its 71kb
unzip and run the setup
that’s it. Try running the game and im mostly sure it will run.
