I don't get it.
I just installed Windows 7 x64 (via MSDN subscription). I installed ToMI episode 1 and it went smooth (I did not do the DirectX test-thingy). I use the first stand-alone installer - not via Steam.
But when I try to start the game I just get following message; "The program can't start because d3dx9_41.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.".

I thought this was simply just because the game is incompatible with Windows 7 x64. But when I read this post and see that people are playing it on x64, I don't know what might be wrong.

I've tried to run the program in Vista or XP "mode", but I still get the error and the game won't launch.

Any idea on what to do ? Is there an installer for x64 I must use instead ?

This system runs with nVidia 9600gt 512mb, 4x 1GB DDR2 ram and Intel E6550 dual core. All the latest drivers for everything.
