hello, I, too have a game that i would like to run that only takes directx 6.0. I've installed wine and started to run the installation program, but it as me for directx. I cannot find any place that will offer a free download of directx or a place that wont have it only for windows. I was wondering if you knew of someplace that would help me in any way. thank you.
Wine's version of DirectX, which is installed automatically, should satisfy your program's installer. Please file a bug about this.

Wine is supposed to implement it by itself, with no additional downloads. 2) AFAIK there is no DirectX distribution for other platforms than for windows. So you cannot find it anywhere, because it doesn't exist :-).> > I was wondering if you knew of someplace that would help me in any way. > thank you.Did you look at WineDB, what they say about your game ? Also, more details (wine version, OS/distribution it's running on etc.) are needed to give you more help :-). With regards, Pavel Troller
