Problem with Apocalypse Weekend add-on

While checking the add-on included with this GOG.com release, I've
discovered the Apocalypse Weekend episode isn't working, and errors
to a complaint about not having the required directx8 installed.

This is kind of weird, seeing as the main game part (Share the Pain)
runs with no complaints what-so-ever, so I'm hoping the problem is
only a =real=need= for a specific directx8 .dll having to be copied
inplace to work around the issue. The other possibility, may have
something to do with the game's directory layout...ie; the actual
Apocalypse Weekend directory is -nestled- under game $installdir,
and perhaps changing that around manually might lead to a result.
Even using the --workdir switch as part on the command line may help,
but these are only my ideas of things I'm likely to try, next time
I have some time to fool with it some more...

If anyone finds a solution in the meantime, be sure to post here!
