While installing the newest game of the Medal of Honor series, I got a strange DLL error saying that the game couldn't be launched.
When I installed DirectX 11, available as an installer, it worked.
Is it mandatory to install all the DirectX installers for subsequent different games?

Considering a game can use a specific date release of Direct X its always good to install the EXACT version the game expects. There can be differences in the actual output of a method, if say there is a bug, and the developer adjusted their code to compensate for known behavior.

Due to the recent suspicious downvote I received to this answer decided to make it a community wiki. – Ramhound – 2017-12-13T16:21:25.030

Depending on the Game you are installing you have to at times install Direct X updates that has been happening for a long time and in every version of Windows.The only difference is the Direct x version its updated right now...
Hope this Helps...

You must install all the DirectX interfaces so that earlier games can use them, but not all the versions of the DirectX runtime itself -- just the latest. – David Schwartz – 2012-10-29T20:35:04.687
