The "or higher" is misleading; it specifically needs DirectX 9. So just updating DirectX to the latest version will do nothing. The game can't actually use the DirectX 10/11/12 that is installed on windows machines by default nowadays.
- Download the DirectX Redistributables package from June 2010. Be sure to uncheck any other junk they want to add to it. It should be a file called "directx_Jun2010_redist.exe".
- Run the downloaded file. It'll ask for a folder to unpack in. Make a new folder somewhere on your disk and unpack it there. It doesn't matter where you unpack it; it can be deleted afterwards anyway.
- Go to the folder where you told it to extract.
- Find "DXSETUP.exe", and run that to install the missing components.
- After the installation finished, delete the folder you unpacked everything in.
Since this is a completely separate thing, it will not interfere with your installed higher-version DirectX.
