winetricks Directx9: Unsupported style(s) 0x144

[immunmotbluescreen]

I'm trying to install Tropico 3 and AppDB suggests that I install directx9. So I type:

Code: Select all

winetricks directx9

and after a short while it comes to this:

Executing wine c:\winetrickstmp/DXSETUP.exe
err:setupapi:do_file_copyW Unsupported style(s) 0x144
err:setupapi:do_file_copyW Unsupported style(s) 0x144

Then this is repeated like 40 times. I suspect that directx9 isn't installed here because the game barely runs on low settings.

How do I get directx installed correctly?

The only part we really use from native directx9 are d3dx9_* helper dlls. The core of DirectX9 namely d3d9.dll is provided by Wine and it makes Direct3D9 to OpenGL. If performance is low it is likely because you are using slow video drivers or a slow videocard OR your 32-bit opengl drivers have not been installed correctly.

You should install DirectX 9 via winetricks in order to make the game run smoothly. With DX9 game works perfectly.

I know that EN9400GT is a pretty lame gaming GPU but it should run the game on medium because it has run World of Warcraft and Evil genius without any problem. I'll try to install patch 1.04 and set the settings to low. If I don't most a new reply I still need help with installing directx9.

To install directx9, I did

Code: Select all

winetricks d3dx9

It's ok.

Thank you Cr0k. It's now installed. Unfortunately it still crashes . I give up

Mine is crashing too. None of the solutions here have worked. If anyone has any ideas, I would appreciate it if you could pm me. Thanks

Crashing what? Don't resurrect old threads just to say "me too".
