Blog | Download DirectX 9.0c November release

For years every single month a newcomer asked who to install DirectX within WINE.
Sure, we all answered: impossible. Until now!
You heard right. It's possible to run the DirectX 9.0c Installation and the DXdialog to check functionality. How? Must be tricky!?

It's easy!

The complete article and many screenshots can be found on Wine-Review.

1. Install a native mscoree.dll and streamci.dll into /system32 from a windows install and set then to native Windows.
2. Go to ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32 and rename d3d8, d3d9, ddraw, dsound, dsound.vxd, quartz dlls to *.bak
3. You will need to set a large number of dlls to native for the install to work properly. Here is the full list of dlls that need to be set.
   
   "d3d8"="native"
   "d3d9"="native"
