Many games have both a 'game.exe' and a 'launcher.exe' in the same 
folder. Do you see a launcher.exe or any other .exe in the same folder 
as the one you tried?

this part of the error:

err:module:import_dll Library d3dx9_43.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\Program Files\\RIFT Game\\rift.exe") not found

has potential to be the problem. I believe you can use winecfg to check 
and/or change the override for that library between native and built in, 
trying whichever it is not currently set to may help - but I have not 
had to do so for a program before so maybe someone else with experience 
there can chime in on that.
