So to confirm, you have installed vcrun2008, corefonts, and d3dx9_36, right? What happens when you try to run the game now? As far as the Visual C++ libraries installer, is that an msi or exe? Did it even download? Msis do need to be ran in a special way, and simply trying to run them with "Wine program launcher" won't do. They need to be opened with WINE's msi utility. Cheers, Jake
