Summary: Oregon Trail 5 refuses to install, wants DirectX 8 Product: Wine Version: CVS Platform: Other URL: http://www.broderbund.com/jump.jsp?itemType=PRODUCT&item ID=147 OS/Version: other Status: NEW Keywords: download Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-directx AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: dank@kegel.com
1. Order the trial version of Oregon Trail from Broderbund's site. (You can get it from other sites as well, but they use a strange ActiveX app to do the real download, which doesn't work well in wine.) After registering they let you download it. Better have a fast connection, it's big!
2. Run the 550MB (566411841 byte) Oregon Trail installer. Click 'ok' to first screen. It will complain that you don't have DirectX 8. Not sure how it detects what version of DirectX we have, but whatever it's doing we seem to be handling wrong.
