wine users - Apr 2007 - Which version of DirectX 9 does Wine support?

Hi,

I came across a game demo, Shrek the third.
The installation went almost smoothly, but the
installation directory it went into was
C:\Program Files\My Product Name
instead of the suggested default:
C:\Program Files\SHReK the THiRD

The demo said it requires DirectX 9c and indeed
it doesn't run because it needs d3dx9_32.dll.
It seems Wine doesn't provide this DLL currently.

Best regards,
Zolt?n B?sz?rm?nyi

Wine doesn't provide any of those specific dlls for dx9.  It is the
position of the development team that they are part of the game and
not part of the core directx and need to be shipped with the game.
What you need to do is find a copy of it on the internet and save it
into the same directory as the game exe you are playing. This will
mean it will only be used for the game you're playing and not clutter
your system32 directory.
