The Railroad Tycoon 3 Demo also requires Direct X 8.1 or higher, which is not provided as a part of the Setup program. If you've installed any newer game (from 2002 onward), you likely already have this installed. If you do not have Direct X 8.1 or 9 installed, you may download and install the latest version from www.microsoft.com/DirectX. If you run the game and receive the error message ‘A required .DLL file, D3D8.DLL was not found’, that means you’ll need to download and install the latest version of Direct X.
