Hey all!
I have recently installed a windows 98 vm on VmWare workstation in my win7x64
host os. I have downloaded wined3d from: http://www.nongnu.org/wined3d/
it says that those are builds for win32 apps, but when the installer runs I see
that some syswow64 (which is a 64 bit app folder) is getting created and some
dlls into it installed. Does this mean my windows 98 has now 64 bit dlls and
that is why it can't run d3d? or even DirectDraw now is disabled. Ofcourse I
have a bckup of my VM but I would like to play Red Alert 2... and some other
games. Which require directx 8/9 and don't have software rendering. Please
help me getting direct3d to work in my windows 98 SE, it has alredy most things
installed like directx 9 redist and vmware tools and the audio drivers. Now I
only need to get the graphics to work.
Note: when I run dxdiag, when it is accessing d3d it gives this error:
