Back then it was possible to install all the requirements manually because wine/winetricks wasn't blocking us to install them. (such as full DirectX9, .NET 3.5 SP1, etc.)
winetricks still supports dotnet35p1. directx9 generally caused more problems than it solved, but if you need it, you could try running an old version of winetricks.
https://github.com/Winetricks/winetricks/releases/tag/20190615 is the last version that supported directx9.
