I'm assuming that you downloaded it from Digital River via Software4Students or something like that ... did their customer support have anything to say?

When you say installed, do you mean you booted into safe mode and moved physxcooking.dll to Windows/System32? That's usually the most common fix for .dll problems.

strategy for errors of type "x.dll is missing":
1. put the name of x.dll as it's shown in the error message into google search
2. you'll probably find x.dll, probably among the dlls at (
http://dllcentral.com/PhysXCooking.dll/2.7.4/download/) dllcentral.com
3. Download the according *.zip, unpack it, copy the contained dll into the same directory where the *.exe file of the program which was looking for this dll is located (the installation folder). You'll probably need admin rights for this. The program should look in its installation folder for needed dlls and find it then.
(This can also be done by putting the dll into some other path (+ eventually setting environment variables) but I wouldn't recommend it.)
This works with wesnoth (and I found it to work with other unrelated programs too).
