Why would anyone want to do such a dumb thing? It does not work on Wine. Just installing it to break Wine? What a great idea! So someone can brag about installing it...
DO NOT install it and you won't have any problems.

And in case you need support fort this stupid stuff - you have to ask that directly from the person who suggest installing it - Tom Wickline

Direct X does not need to be installed on Wine. It is built in. Now,
are you having a problem with an application that is not addressed in
the Applications Database?

Steam should run with Wine without installing Direct X.

Now we need some answers to further help you:
1. What brand of Linux are you using?
2. What is the version of Wine you are using?
3. What is the actual error Steam is giving you (and check the
Applications Database for help with Steam as well)?

Logfiles are not necessary at this point.
