Directx is a mess...it's better to use winetricks to install it, but even it's buggy (I'm working on that, but unfortunately, I don't game much, so hard to fix :-p).\ > But if I right click on dxsetup.exe and choose "open with wine windows program loader" it starts to install properly. Am I doing something wrong? This is under Ubuntu 9.04 64-bit server with wine-1.1.23-273-gc293285. I had 1.1.23 installed before but I moved .wine to .wine-bak and uninstalled wine with apt before getting the latest with git and compile/make/make install and beginning to verify bugs. After each test I rm -fr .wine > Any dll overrides I did when I had wine installed via apt before would have moved with .wine-bak... correct? Right. That's why it's best to install all apps separately, makes testing easy. I use ~/.wine for testing stuff (developers reinstall a lot...), but ~/.wine-morrowind for morrowind, ~/.wine-dvdshrink for DVD Shrink, etc. Much easier to deal with. > Sorry if this is a little off topic for this thread but I want to make sure that I'm not testing improperly and sending developers in the wrong direction! No problem. There are no stupid questions...though asking easy questions on bugzilla is close ;-). -- -Austin
