I would highly suggest starting a new thread after searching the
forums AND reading the Applications Database.  Most of DirectX 9 has
been implemented into Wine and installing Directx9 'over top' might
cause breakage.  If there is no Applications Database entry for the
program you are trying to run, capture a logging file and then post it
to a site like pastebin.com.  http://wiki.winehq.org/#get_log is a
good place for information on how to capture logging files.
