topofusion, directx

[bradrh]

I'm trying to install TopoFusion (http://www.topofusion.com). I get an error that says, 'make sure that you have DirectX9'. There is an old tutorial out there which explains how to install directX, but the FAQ says don't do that, there is already an implementation of directX 9.0c (which is what the program requires). Suggestions?

What version of Wine? if it's not the latest development release, upgrade. If it still doesn't work, post terminal output. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#get_log

I was using 1.4, now 1.5.15. Same result. Log file:
fixmeSHAutoComplete stub
fixme:sfc:SfcIsFileProtected ((nil), L"C:\\windows\\system32\\MSCOMCTL.OCX") stub
err:module:import_dll Library MSVBVM60.DLL (which is needed by L"C:\\windows\\system32\\COMCT332.OCX") not found

Bump, no ideas?

Try winetricks vb6run.

Try winetricks vb6run.

Thanks, perhaps 1 step closer.
Now I get an error msg popup that says:
"Can't initialize DirectX: Couldn't load 'fuzzy-writing' tile"

Here's the log file (sorry, I tried to attach it but got an error when I tried log.txt & log)
