Best Wine Front-End

[silveringking]

Hello I was wondering what are the best Wine Front-Ends. PlayonLinux is excellent (altough dead) with games that is for sure... But when I try to install the copy I bought of Babylon Pro 9 a few years ago, when I try to push the dictionaries I simply can't... So I would like to know what is the most friendly front-end in order to install applications that need patches and updates (in this case my babylon michaelis dictionaries, which need to be installed on the directory as babylon...).
Also may I ask you if it is possible/legal to install directx under Wine, you know to play http://forum.winehq.org/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif . I would prefer an front-end with a lot of support and updated. And one where I could install everything need for certain functions under the same "prefix" like on PlayOnLinux...
Thank you!

There is no "best" wine front end. Each one has their strong and weak points. Front ends cannot make a program work on wine, they only help automate a recipe for a successful installation. There are "recipes" for many popular programs and games in the wine appdb (http://appdb.winehq.org).

Wine already can emulate many DirectX calls, so for the most part installing DirectX is not needed to run games.

As for Babylon 9 Pro, there is an appdb (http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=2086) entry up to version 8, I would start looking there for tips to possibly get 9 working.
