Hi, I have 4 machines here. Two are Gentoo, one of which is my laptop which has had lots of wine stuff installed. I have a second new Gentoo box, as well as two Fedora 2 boxes. These last 3 boxes have never had Wine on them. all 4 boxes are currently using Wine-20041019 compiled from the same tarball so they should be very identical. The problem is that my laptop, which has had almost every Wine version since December 2003 on it, will install and run a specific program (Acid Pro 2.0) while the other 3 machine will not. All of the other 3 machines die during the install with the message: Error Message This product requires a newer version of Microsoft's DirectX Media than you have on your computer. You may download the DirectX Media 6.0 installer from our website www.sonicfoundry.com. I have tried copying the config file I'm using from the good laptop to the other machines but that didn't fix the problem. Presumably this means that the Direct X software Acid is looking for came from some other Windows program that I installed on my laptop? Any ideas on how I can get past this and discover how the good Direct X got on here? However, it was my understanding the Wine emulated Direct X these days and none of this was necessary. Is that supposed to be the case? Thanks in advance, Mark _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
