In Linux Mint 18.3, wine worked to run NoteworthyComposer and RiskII. Now, in Mint 19, NoteWorthyComposer no longer has sound even though I did midi setup with timidity. RiskII asks for DirectX in Mint 19 and so does not install.
You didn't mention what Wine version you're using, or where you got it from. If it's not the latest development or staging release, please upgrade. If the problem is present in current Wine, post terminal output.
