Hello everyone, I'm new here and I need a little bit of help. I'm running WINE 0.9.59 on Ubuntu 7.04 For starters I'm trying to get steam games to work on wine. I can get steam installed, and I log in fine. but when I go to launch a game it says "the latest version of Microsoft DirectX is needed to play this game" So I look around the internet on how to installed dx on wine and I find this: http://wine-review.blogspot.com/2008/03/directx-90c-march-2008-redistributable.html I follow the instructions here perfectly, but when I go to install DXSETUP.exe It stalls on the initializing step and I get this readout: Code: daniel@ubuntu:~/dx$ wine DXSETUP.exe fixme:spoolsv:serv_main (0 (nil)) fixme:actctx:parse_depend_manifests Could not find dependent assembly L"Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls" wine: Call from 0x7b840fd8 to unimplemented function softpub.dll.SoftpubInitialize, aborting wine: Unimplemented function softpub.dll.SoftpubInitialize called at address 0x7b840fd8 (thread 001f), starting debugger... WineDbg starting on pid 0008 Unhandled exception: unimplemented function softpub.dll.SoftpubInitialize called in 32-bit code (0x7b841052).

Or is there possibly any way to trick steam into thinking that I am running dx9? Thanks for the help in advanced.
