E_FAIL without debugdevice?

Hello boys and girls,
I get a pretty wierd error when using


 hr = D3DX11CompileFromFile("Effects.fx", 0, 0, "VS", "vs_4_0", 0, 0, 0, &VS_Buffer, &error1, 0);

hr returns E_FAIL and error1 is empty.

Msdn says:


 E_FAIL: Attempted to create a device with the debug layer enabled and the layer is not installed.

But I create my device without the debug-flag, so I can't see whats the point in this.
Do you have any idea?

you use dx11, so try to use "vs_5_0"

Maybe running in the debug mode would help.
Please, check the debug console.

I can't use the debugging console for this since the problem does only occur on pc's without dx SDK installed. Creating the app indebugmode does not change the outcome.
Using 5_0 shaders gives me errors (can't post them since I'm not at home right now)
