The control panel has a Managed tab, which contains the names of the DirectX Assemblies that are installed. For any assembly that is installed in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC), you can find the version listed under each assembly name by right clicking on a particular assembly version and selecting Properties from the popup menu.
I don't know if it affects the directx component installation in the game installer, or if it only affects the Directx SDK.

the global assembly cache folder (C:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC), but wine doesn't implement assemblies yet (Sxs.dll) as outlined in bug 5965.
What you wanted to say is that due to Wine not implementing assemblies and/or the GAC directory not existing yet possibly the game installer doesn't install these DLLs yet, right? Could someone verify whether this is the case? (does the installer package contain strings for those DirectX DLLs?)
