Mass Effect 2 Invalid license. Missing DLL [d3dx9_39.dll] error 0xC1

Hi, a couple of days I bought Mass Effect 2 I decide intall and in the moment I want play, a pop up window says "Invalid license. Missing DLL [d3dx9_39.dll] error 0xC1" I try a lot of solutions of the forums and from the web and nothing happens, what can I do?.

Plus, I installed all the redist contained in the game,

I tried uninstall/re-install the game and nothing.

Thanks for the help.

    I install all of the folder like I say before.

    But, I fix the error in this form: I download the dll "d3dx9_39.dll" in 32 bit and 64 bits, then copy the dll (try with both but only serves one, the 32 bits dll in my case) in the folder of the game (not core), where the executable is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect 2\Binaries"... Then put/paste the dll and fix it.

    All this with Origin close.

    Hope can help anyone with the same problem.

    @DaveMnn

    So you already installed the "DXSETUP.exe" from ">drive<:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect 2\redist\DirectX"?

    If not do so.

    If you did, go here, download the DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer and install it.

    If that still doesn't help, please report back.
