I'd guess you have a rogue version of d3dx9_43.dll somewhere. Note that the dir /s command can take a surprisingly long time to complete. It can take over a minute if your C: drive has a lot of stuff on it.
Incidentally, when XBMC refers to C:\Windows\system32 it actually means C:\Windows\SysWOW64. In x64 Windows the SysWOW64 directory contains the 32 bit files, and 32 bit apps have any requests to system32 redirected to SysWOW64.
