wine users - May 2009 - DirectX Setup fails to install as a cabinet file...

Hi. I am trying to install DirectX on wine 1.1.20 (running on 2.6.29-gentoo-r2)
but get the following error as soon as I run DXSETUP.exe


Code:
A cabinet file necessary for installation cannot be trusted. Pleaswe verify the
Cryptographic service is running on this computer and the cabinet file
certificate is valid



I have tried re-downloading the file again but same error. Googling has shown
this to be a windows error but I have no idea how to turn on cryptographic
services in wine (or if I even can).

Any help greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Open a terminal and type which cabextract and then see what gets returned.  My
first guess would be that you need to install cabextract or you need to put it
in your PATH.

Are you installing DirectX 9.0c?  I did that and it seemed to cause more
problems than solutions (at least for Team Fortress 2 and other HL2-based
games).  I wound up deleting my prefix, reinstalling wine, and now run without
the DX9 installation...it runs leaps and bounds better.

If you really want to try DX9 though, here is a great guide:

The only things you would ever want for native directx are d3dx9_*.dll which are
utility libraries. You can grab them from e.g. dll-files or you can get them
from native directx but never install native directx, let winetricks grab them
for you from native directx.

Thanks for all the replies...
