    Question Installing "Harry Potter and The Order of Phoenix" under wine

    Was anyone sucessful doing it? It doesn't install here and gives me this error:

    "Installation cannot continue because this game requires Directx9.0c or higher to be installed on your system..."

    I've tried installing dx9c using wine but the install process crashes =/

    Any help?
    Thanks in advance!

    None of the other Harry Potter games run under WINE. This one is brand new. So I'm guessing no.

    Also it is NOT useful what-so-ever to install directx under WINE. Wine has it's own implementation
    of the directx libraries and it WILL NOT use the ones you install (if you even manage to) unless you
    otherwise force it to. Forcing it to will not result in anything thing aside from the probable crash of
    WINE itself. Some games need specific libraries from directx, but these are often minimal and only
    to satisfy a game/application that checks for them and they aren't physically used after the check.
