           Summary: Cant get app to work with or without DirectX
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.28
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: blocker
          Priority: P2
         Component: directx-d3d
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org

I'm trying to make the jump from XP to Linux but im brand new at this so please
bear with me.

Im trying to get the game "Wizard 101" to work on with WINE. It would simply
not draw any of the characters with the normal install of WINE, Draws
everything else fine, backgrounds, other animated objects etc but NOTHING for
player toons or bad guys etc (or anything else 3D looking). I couldn't find any
way to run it in OpenGL, so I tried installing DirectX. 

Now I finally have DirectX installed. When I start the dxdiag.exe it gives me a
message that there was a problem accessing Direct3D and gives me the option to
bypass it. If I dont bypass it it freezes up and gives this message:

"The program dxdiag.exe has encountered a serious problem and needs to close.
We are sorry for the inconvenience.


This can be caused by a program or a deficiency in Wine. You may want to check
http://appdb.winehq.org for tips about running this application. 

If this problem is not present under Windows and has not been reported yet, you
can report it at http://bugs.winehq.org."

If I bypass it everything else seems to work just fine in the dxdiag, except
there is no music which I could care less about. Now the game just freezes up
when I try to run it.

I would like to find a way to run this game by either getting DirectX to work
or without DirectX if there is some way to do that I missed.


Im using Wine 1.28, Ubuntu 9.04 and directx_mar2009_redist.exe.

Wierd things that happened while trying to get DirectX installed under WINE if
that helps.

-ddraw.dll was missing when I installed DirectX so I copied it over from my XP
install.

-Was giving the error:
"Please set registry key hklm\software\microsoft\.netframework\installroot to
point to the .net framework install location" 

When trying to install DirectX. I found another install guide that had me copy
extra files first and that went away. Guide is here->
