    Before running direct3d tests check this:

    $ glxinfo | grep rendering
    direct rendering: Yes
    (If it says "No", you don't have 3D acceleration.)

    I have a script in Wine-doors which claims to do the same thing (installing DirectX 9 under Wine). How is yours any different?

    Can't you modify the script under Wine-doors to use your changes if you find yours is better?

    Last but not the least under what license you intend to distribute your version of a DirectX installer? I prefer free software licenses, such as the GPL.

    Hello zbog,

    I would guess they use the same methods, the main difference is Wine-Doors has a script, and this is a howto.

    Sure if you find for example the d3dx9_24 to 36 dlls are not installing or WD uses builtin dlls your more then welcome to submit a diff.

    The howto is 100% Open Source, do with it as you wish! If you copy it, it would be nice if you linked back to the original :D

    Thanks for posting this. I've run into a problem with it though. I get a fatal error. It then claims that mscorees.dll is not installed (it is, from native windowsxp per the instructions). If I click ok on the dialog, it seems to go ahead and install, but much of the install is missing. I get a whole much of these on my console (err:setupapi:do_file_copyW Unsupported style(s) 0x144). I'm using wine 0.9.58. Any ideas? Thanks again for posting this.

    Hello Richard,

    You could install the mscoree.dll from dll dump... place it in your .wine system32 directory.

    dll dump mscoree.dll

    make sure you have the dll list copied correctly, Wine set to emulate windows 2000 and it *should* work.

    Hi twickline,
    Just a bonehead manuever on my part. I thought I read the entire thing, but somehow skipped the part about setting wine to emulate win2k. That was the problem. It then installed everything except ddrawex.dll. I pulled that from dll dump and all is perfectly installed. Great writeup. Thanks for taking the trouble to post this.

    Cheers,

    Richard

    Pretty cool guide. However, is it actually useful for wine? Can it improve support on certain games such as Half-Life 2?

    Hello,

    It's useful to a point, and thats the problem.. people expect it to be more then what it is.

    thanks for ur work .. perfect ..

    But i had a problem ..

    i installed the dx .. ran dxdialog .. in the files tab: it stated that a file named " ddrawex.dll " is missing .. is this normal ?

    Testing the direct draw was successful.
    The direct 3d caused the wine to close.

    when i type:
    $ glxinfo | grep rendering
    direct rendering: Yes

    is the missing file causing the prob ? any fix ?

    Thanks in advance,
    Tarek

    Yes its normal, you can copy a dll over from Windows if you want.

    I'm not sure why the D3D test work fine for most people and fail for a small group of people. I would suggest you debug it.. but if you knew how to debug you would have already done that :D

    Cheers,

    Tom

    Can anyone help me?

    maybe the problem is the wine version. With wine-0.9.58 and the previous guide (the 'DirectX 9.0c November release' one) i have installed directx without any problem. With wine-0.9.59 (and directx of november) 3d doesn't work anymore. oh, and i've have an ATI with the latest drivers installed via envy + ubuntu gutsy.
    Hope this can help.

    I get to the point where you are supposed to go to the system32 file and run dxdiag.exe, but there is no dxdiag.exe file in there for me. What am I doing wrong? (I think my 'wine DXSETUP.exe fails because i get a
    'err:setupapi:do_file_copyW Unsupported style(s) 0x144'error)

    Correction:
    Original(did not work):
    wine directx_mar2008_redist.exe
    fixme:advapi:DecryptFileA "Z:\\home\\tom\\dx\\" 00000000

    Changed to(worked):
    wine directx_mar2008_redist.exe /T:"Z:\\home\\tom\\dx\\" /C

    Hi,
    good howto, i like it. Everything works for me, except of 3D test in dxdiag. I see the cube spinning as fast as it probably should, but with no texture DirectX logo on sides. Same problem I had with the previous howto with older Wine and older DirectX. Thank you for any idea

    PS: Direct rendering: Yes

    Hi,

    Great Howto! Easy to follow even if i'm french! Everything works but...

    The D3D test fail for me, so I'm part of the "small group of people", as twickline said.

    Graphic card/drivers could be the reasons. I know my ATI Radeon 9600 pro/Ati drivers causes much troubles in Kubuntu. For those who fail the D3D tests only, can you post your GC model and used drivers.

    if dxdiag.exe is missing, try reinstalling directx (wine DXSETUP.exe)
    Worked out for me.

    i follow the instruction but i always get 'err:setupapi:do_file_copyW Unsupported style(s) 0x144'error'

    try to reinstall dxsetup but still the errors.

    DirectDraw crashes wine here too, and for some reason, games which were working before installing DirectX 9.0c are not running now either. Any ideas?

    Thankx for a great guide, but I have a problem too - when I try install DirectX, it wrote: "err:setupapi:do_file_copyW Unsupported style(s) 0x144" and games like before (2D Heroes3 works, 3D games not)

    - I have direct rendering
    - Windows 2000 set too
    - I did mscoree.dll and gm.dls things too
    - Games are working on my HW (tested in real Wins)

    - Using Ubuntu 8.04, Wine 0.9.59 and 0.9.61
    - In one try it wrote 0x244 instead of 0x144 but have no idea what was diferent :3

    Hi, I'm trying to run an MMORPG called ConquerOnline for quite a while now. I found your howto and followed it to the letter.

    I have direct rendering on my GeForce FX5500, have the latest wine installed, the DirectX, gm.dls and mscoree.dll you linked.

    But when I try to install DirectX, I still get the following error:
    err:setupapi:do_file_copyW Unsupported style(s) 0x144

    Oh! I'm running Slackware 12.1.

    Hi! Thanks for the guide, but it doesn't work properly for me :s
    When I try to install Directx 9, a fatal error occurs.

    "DXSETUP.exe - Error
    A fatal error occured. However, mscorees.dll could not be loadet to display the appropriate error message.

    Please reinstall the .NET Framework.

    [OK]"

    The installation continues even with this error, but it doesn't really install Direct x 9. There is also no dxdiag then.

    My distribution is Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron). Thanks for help!

    "landry said...

    Note: It is important that wine be in W2k mode for the installer to work properly."

    THANK YOU BUDDY !!!!

    YES, THAT IS IMPORTANT. I wasn't getting dxdiag.exe either, until I did that.
    Cheers.

    I'm confused. Where can I find all these .dll files? I tried looking in a clean XP sp2 installation's system32 dir but they are not there.

    Update: I did find the dlls after installing dx9c on my windows install but alas, I cannot locate d3dx8.dll or dmusic32.dll

    Hope it works without those two :-/

    Many of the Windows DVD Players require DirectX 9.

    I've looked around on the web and haven't seen any how-to's to run WinDVD or PowerDVD under Wine.

    Has anyone gotten either of those programs to run under Wine?

    Getting this to work would solve the legal issue in the United States of not being able to use libdvdcss2.

    Thanks.
