Dragon Age 2 Invalid License Error On Launch

I wanted to post this to see if anyone could help me. I am trying to run Dragon Age 2 on my Windows 10 and every time I run it I get the problem "Invalid license. Reason code= MISSING DLL d3dx11_43.dll Error 0x000000c1" I tried reinstalling the game and updating/downloading DirectX. So far I hava not got any other result. The d3dx11_43.dll file itself is in the system folder.
Does anyone know what to do next?

    It seams Windows is not reading the files as it should.

    Follow the guide on this Video and test afterwards. (Not BF3 but the DA folder of course.)

    If you have a AMD or Intel GPU go here > Download PhysX > Install > Restart the PC > Test

    If you have a NVIDIA GPU and you have the latest driver installed, go here > Download PhysX > Install > Restart the PC > Test.

    If that don't helps, create a DxDiag in text file format and post it with your next reply. You can do that with the "Choose file" button at the bottom right corner of the reply window.

    • Go to your ......\Dragon Age II\__Installer\directx\redist\ folder.
    • Delete all files with the "*.cab" file extensions. (Only the files with the "*.cab" file extensions!!)
    • Run the "DXSETUP.exe" in that folder as Administrator. (Right click the exe > Run as Administrator.
    • After the installation ist finished restart your PC.
    • Test.

    It didn't help, the problem remained the same. Dragon Age 2 does not start, but NFS Heat does. Which is also purchased on Steam.
