I'm unable to play this because the X3DAudio1_7.dll file is missing and nothing I've tried, including putting it directly into System32, makes my computer notice that I have it in there. Every other game and program runs fine.

You shouldn't be "just copying" a dll from some random .dll site around the place. You should install the accompanying package instead, in this case the directX runtime package.

I've done that, and it fails for some reason. Checking the logs shows that it doesn't get installed and several other things also fail to install.

Tried that, it gets all the way to the end then gives me a failure message and the logs show that nothing was installed without telling me why they weren't.

did you tried to install while running in safe mode? some application might be preventing it from being installed
you need the offline version of the dx9 installer for that btw
