DirectX SDK

Post by onemanarmy »

I can't install DirectX SDK on wine (Linux Mint).

I've downloaded DirectX SDK (June 10) from official microsoft site, run installer on my wine prefix (wine32), press all those "Next" and get stuck on the half of the progress bar with error S1023.
After web searching I found solution - I have to remove MS Visual C++ 2010.
I do it with msiexec.exe /passive /x {}, and with removing dll`s.
But when I finally run SDK installer - it stops on S1023 error again.

I have even create new and clear wineprefix and try to install SDK there - but it again drops an S1023 error.

Help me, please, web says nothing about DXSDK on wine.

@onemanarmy,

It is not recommended to install the full DirectX SDK as this can introduce compatibility issues with the builtin Wine libraries.
Why are you trying to install the SDK anyway?

Check that you aren't using a completely obsolete version of Wine, see WineHQ Download: Ubuntu ...
Wine 2.19 or Wine Staging 2.18 should install the DirectX 9.0c SDK without any issues...
But you're still not recommended to do this!

The web I'm using says plenty about installing the DirectX 9.0c SDK under Wine: see WineHQ AppDB: DirectX SDK ...
Depends how hard (or not) you look of course...

You might want to take some time to read: WineHQ FAQ: 8.3 Does Wine support DirectX? Should I install Microsoft's DirectX under Wine? ...
It definitely wouldn't hurt to read the rest of the WineHQ FAQ as well!
