Summary: WOTR fails to install (newer directx required)
           Product: Wine
           Version: CVS
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-directx
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

WOTR (War Of The Ring) fails to install.  When loading the install program with
"wine /cdrom/Setup.exe", it fails with a messagebox that reads:

"Setup has detected that your system requires a newer version of DirectX before
  proceeding.  Would you like to install it now?"

A +relay trace run reveals that the message is displayed after calling a number
of functions that reference "C:\Windows\System\d3d9.dll".

(btw, in my wine install this file is zero-size.  is this normal?)
