Hi Gerard

i found this actually in a HOWTO Diablo2 in Wine

http://www.geocities.com/kefkarules/DiabloIIHowTo.txt
In point 9 he states

/quote
9. One of the final things to make sure of doing, is installing Direct-X 
7.x from the temporary Diablo II install folder, locate the directx folder, 
enter it, and run installation.  There should be no problems with Direct-X 
7.x updating in Wine, but then again you never know.  I had no problems 
doing this.

The How to was linked by http://appdb.codeweavers.com/appview.php?appId=74
Codeweavers Wine Application Database wich i trusted pretty much till now.

Thx for the Info i would have tryed till i'm old else.
