Has anyone successfully installed Directx 9?
 
I have never been able to successfully install Directx 9. To be clear I have installed Directx using the line command and Wine Tricks. All the correct files including the .dll files are installed into the .wine windows directories. When I try to execute the dxdiag.exe file found in wine -> drive_c -> windows -> system32 nothing happens.

I have tried several tutorials including the one offered by Dedoimedo How to install DirectX in Linux using Wine . Same results, anyway my games seem to run the same with or without Directx but I may need it when I began to play some of the higher end games on steam although these games will most likely be ported specifically for Linux and wont need Directx installed

how about using the terminal and finding out what the error is

Code:

wine dxdiag.exe

what is your 3d card and driver
wine uses openGL2.2+ to software render DirectX
