If this diagnosis is complete, this bug is a WONTFIX. We can easily work around this specific case by sharing source between dinput and dinput8, but no similar solution exists for other dependencies.
To be clear, fixing dinput8 is sufficient to get the game to run. However, if this bug crops up again with a different DLL, we won't be able to fix it as easily.
