Bug #: 29806
           Summary: DirectX Software Test Causes Hype The Time Quest
                    Installer to Fail
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.3.28
          Platform: x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]
    Classification: Unclassified

Provided I'm remembering right, at some point in time this bug went away before
I got around to reporting it, but it's sure back now (writing this when 1.4 rc
2 was the most recent version of Wine).

1.3.28 is the farthest back I have ran Hype successfully, much further behind
that would probably get more iffy because 1.3.28 is particularly unstable about
getting Hype running. Getting the DirectX check to not crash the installer
definitely happened _after_ 1.3.28. I'm still pinpointing the version.

When you install Hype, you have to click "Install", then "Change", then
"Software tests...", then uncheck "Microsoft DirectX Media" and click "OK". Or
else the installer fails, at least in versions of Wine where this bug is in
effect.

Anyways, I can assuredly tell you that Wine 1.4 rc 2 needs to have the DirectX
software check unchecked to keep the installer from failing.
