winecfg: add options to switch between "installed" directx versions
Hi all. I wanted to install "Need for Speed - Most wanted" under wine and the setup told me, that directx is not installed. So i think we need a way to set installed/used directx version in winecfg. Do you think its worth to start developing a patch in this direction? Thanks -- Christian Gmeiner - student of computer science http://dxr3plugin.sf.net http://itb04.ath.cx

you should first found out (e.g. using WINEDEBUG=+reg) what the app really wants. i had the case, that a game wanted a very current directx-version and i just had to set a new number in wine.inf and everything worked fine then. imho faking the most current version is the best thing to do - i doubt that there are many apps out there that really ask for a certain (lower) version number? -- cu

A quick and easy work around is to edit AutoRun/autorun.cfg and remove DirectXVersion=9.0c Tom
