So the software you use is using very advanced detection of installed software : if the OS version is win2K, it 'knows' that it comes with directX. If not, it (probably) tests the registry (unless it searches directly for a file). If you don't have the needed registry entries from the defaut Wine registry file, you should try to use debugmsg +file,+dosfs,+reg to find what the app is trying to check. >I even tried installing the directX 7.1 that came with Diablo, and >(unsurprisingly) it didn't help. Err, I'm sure that Wine doc says somewhere that 'native' DirectX libraries can not work.
