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.
Old winetricks versions never works. They all the time, at some point will try to download something from a broken link.
I downloaded it from that link you posted, and put the binaries into /home/USER1/winetricks/ directory.
This is the results with WINE 9.22 These are the steps, in a terminal:
1.Make the prefix to be a Windows XP 32bit env WINEPREFIX=~/.wineZAFEHOUSE1 WINEARCH=win32 winecfg -v winxp
2.Just to be sure that using that winetricks version: env WINEPREFIX=~/.wineZAFEHOUSE1 WINEARCH=win32 /home/USER1/winetricks/winetricks --version The result is: 20190615 - sha256sum: b6e465841d1d7bf473d8ecd32ed7a18e0add817444bf54ec25e6c9465584c6e9
So it seems using the that exact version, it's fine.
Installing NET 3.5 SP1: env WINEPREFIX=~/.wineZAFEHOUSE1 WINEARCH=win32 /home/USER1/winetricks/winetricks dotnet35sp1
The GUI installer fineshes without error, but still getting this line in the terminal output: dotnet35sp1 install completed, but installed file /home/USER1/.wineZAFEHOUSE1/dosdevices/c:/windows/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v3.5/msbuild.exe.config not found
I don't know what is this file, or this thing even affect anything or not.
Install Visual C++ 2008: env WINEPREFIX=~/.wineZAFEHOUSE1 WINEARCH=win32 /home/USER1/winetricks/winetricks vcrun2008
This will result in: sha256sum mismatch! Rename /home/USER1/.cache/winetricks/vcrun2008/vcredist_x86.exe and try again.
And it does not install. As far as I know, this is happens when the links are broken. Like I said old winetricks will never work in a later time. I don't understand how other people can use old versions without errors... They never works/worked for me.
