I am pretty sure, it will be able to install.  It should do after some
DllOverride tweaking, IMHO.

Yes, and the "emulation" isn't sufficient in this case.  It lacks some
media library (gm.dls) and will continue to do so still for a very long
time [1], I am afraid.  So, even having a Windows license I would rather
find a way to install DX onto my Wine system - I dislike copying native
DLLs and having Windows installed at all.  That's my point - to use clean
Wine installation (besides to a Windows lincense). :-P
