Tron 2.0 starts up, offers the init menu, and works fine until you try and actually start the game. At that point, it goes blank for about 5 seconds and then says "To play tron 2.0, you need DirectX 9.0a and a supported video card with hardware TnL."

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.

I DLed DirectX 9.0C redistributable and ran it with Wine. I didn't know it would want to know the directory to install to.
