wined3d in windows 98 - illegal operation.

Post by grasmanek94 »

Hey all!
I have recently installed a windows 98 vm on VmWare workstation in my win7x64 host os. I have downloaded wined3d from: http://www.nongnu.org/wined3d/

it says that those are builds for win32 apps, but when the installer runs I see that some syswow64 (which is a 64 bit app folder) is getting created and some dlls into it installed. Does this mean my windows 98 has now 64 bit dlls and that is why it can't run d3d? or even DirectDraw now is disabled. Ofcourse I have a bckup of my VM but I would like to play Red Alert 2... and some other games. Which require directx 8/9 and don't have software rendering. Please help me getting direct3d to work in my windows 98 SE, it has alredy most things installed like directx 9 redist and vmware tools and the audio drivers. Now I only need to get the graphics to work.

Note: when I run dxdiag, when it is accessing d3d it gives this error:

Third party apps are not supported here. Ask for help from whoever created those packages: http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/wined3d

There is a wiki page here on using wined3d on Windows: http://wiki.winehq.org/WineD3DOnWindows
