wine users - Oct 2008 - PhysX

Does anyone know how to get PhysX
(http://www.nvidia.com/object/physx_8.09.04_whql.html) working? Some games, for
example Pirates of the Burning Sea, require that PhysX is installed. This is
what I get when I run the installer:


Code:
fixme:system:SetProcessDPIAware stub!
fixme:iphlpapi:NotifyAddrChange (Handle 0x7d2129f8, overlapped 0x7d2129dc): stub
fixme:shell:DllCanUnloadNow stub
fixme:advapi:LookupAccountNameW (null) L"xxx" (nil) 0x33f88c (nil)
0x33f890 0x33f884 - stub
fixme:advapi:LookupAccountNameW (null) L"xxx" 0x131b10 0x33f88c
0x132a38 0x33f890 0x33f884 - stub
err:msi:ACTION_CallDllFunction failed to load dll
L"C:\\windows\\temp\\msi116b.tmp"




And.. nothing happens. I've been looking around to find a solution for this
but so far I haven't had any luck.

This does not work on Wine yet. And you can't use native libraries - they
access hardware in a way that won't work on Wine.

There was some time ago some work being done on it. And as I recall with some
success. However I don't know what happened to it. You can search wine-devel
mailing list archives to see what came out of it.

Alright. Thanks!
