Can't start game

Hello,

Have been trying for a while now to get game to start. It comes up with the initial launcher, but when I hit the connect button, I keep getting this message :

Error starting: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'C:\Users\Public\Games\Warhammer Online - Age of Reckoning\WAR.exe' is denied.
at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath)
at System.IO.FileStream.Init(String path, FileMode mode, FileAccess access, Int32 rights, Boolean useRights, FileShare share, Int32 bufferSize, FileOptions options, SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES secAttrs, String msgPath, Boolean bFromProxy, Boolean useLongPath, Boolean checkHost)
at System.IO.FileStream..ctor(String path, FileMode mode, FileAccess access, FileShare share, Int32 bufferSize, FileOptions options, String msgPath, Boolean bFromProxy)
at System.IO.FileStream..ctor(String path, FileMode mode)
at RoRLauncher.Client.patchExe()
at RoRLauncher.Client.Handle(PacketIn packet)

Any help would be appreciated. I would love to get to play this game once again.

Thanks!

Access was denied to the path or file WAR.exe!

Remove the write-protection (right click the game folder -> properties -> disable read-only) and try again. You may also try running the launcher with Administrator privileges.

Ok, tried running launcher as administrator.

got this message: The program can't start because d3dx9_34.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

Do I have to reinstall program or can I get the file and put it somewhere in the folder?

When I changed from Read Only, it gives same message whether I run as admin or not.
