How To Xinput Download For Xbox 360 Controller

The error you are getting is actually telling you to download the xinput.dll file on your computer. The xinput.dll file is used by the Windows operating system to connect Xbox 360 controllers to a Windows machine. This dll file is part of Microsoft DirectX.

Since you are missing this file, maybe you need to upgrade your DirectX installation. If your installation is up to date, uninstall and reinstall DirectX on your computer. Check if this solves your problem. If this does not work for you, find the xinput.dll file on the internet and download it. Place the file in the systems folder of your computer and restart the system. The error should be gone and you should be able to connect your controllers to the computer successfully.
