This made me think that the error could be related to DirectX , as the game does try to do a DirectX setup when I launch it and then crashes. So I ran the DXSETUP.exe mentioned in the above path as administrator. And sure enough, DirectX setup fails with the following error :
In checking the DXError.log & DirectX.log under C:\Windows\logs I see the following errors
DXError.log:

sfc /scannow
Both of them did not show any errors or apparent problems.
How do I fix this error so I can play one of my fav games please?
