After a google of the filename is is a DirectX component. Go to your CD, RIGHT click and explore, go to DirectX folder and setup.exe. Or you can go to this thread and do one of the options.

You need the latest DirectX 9 runtime (because you have chosen not to install it from the SH4 disk). You can download it from Microsoft.
