wine users - Sep 2006 - Fwd: missing directX during installation

Hi

Try installing it in win98 mode - run winecfg and change the default to win98.

Subject: [Wine] missing directX during installation
Date: Saturday 09 September 2006 06:35

Hello all:

I'd like to install an older program (from 1998/9).
The installation starts OK but then I get the following error
message:
"Unable to install software. This software product requires
DirectX Media Streaming Services 5.2a (formally known as
ActiveMovie) or later to be installed."

As I know wine already can imitate up DirectX 7 (8?).
So how could I circumvent the above problem?
Thanks,
IG

Hi Shelton:

Thanks for your answer and sorry for the late reply but I was 
busy with other stuffs.

Unfortunately it does not matter if I set wine to win98, 
windows2000 or even winXP the installer works the same way 
and gives the same error message (see above).
I think the solution should be trivial but I have no any idea 
about it.
I've tried this list earlier but that time I did not get even one 
answer.
Please, if you have any idea share it with me or give me 
suggestion what forum to turn to.

Thanks,
IG
