CrossOver Support - Community Forums

Hello,

Im trying to run this program downloaded from http://www.sallos.net/download/

I created a bottle with .net 2.0 installed and try to run this program from this bottle but i get the message:

Managed DirectX does not appear to be installed on your system, would you like to download it now. And then i press yes and nothing happens.

So my question is, how do I get Managed directx installed so I can run this program (game) ?

I tried installing Directx9 but that didnt work either. Tried all different searches on the net but with no result so I ended up going here, which I hope can help me out.

Please point me in a direction getting this to work

Thank you in advance

Btw forgot to mention that this is crossover pro 10.1.1 and its a game im trying to load

Thanks

Hi,

As you have Crossover Pro, I take it you're using your Crossover Games install
for this game... ie; don't use Pro for this...

That will install MDX....

Cheers!

Hmm, I think actually Im not,

I just created a xp bottle, installed the game and tried to launch that exe file.

I have no idea how to do what you just explained. I can see any "games install" in the crossover menu nor in the program itself

Hmm, now I installed crossover games.

Created a XP bottle, insstalled my game, installed that link you suggested with crosstie and correctly enough it showed that I installed directx including managed directx and a bunch of other stuff.

However - When I start the game from that bottle, it tells me that it appears that managed directx is not installed and asks me to install it :(

Hope someone have a a solution

Thank you in advance.

Hi again,

I just downloaded/installed the Sallos program, and the error you are
seeing is related to a .NET 2.0 failure, not so much MDX itself. Afaict,
the error trace is typical of the need for .NET 2.0 SP2 which is currently
unsupported in crossover/wine. Sad to say, there is no resolve to this ;
like so many other win32 apps, this one too will have to wait for the
.NET 2.0 service packs to be supported by crossover/wine.

Cheers!

Thanks so much for your effort.

Oh damn, I did install the .net 2.0 package as said was required on the download page of my link.

Do you know if they are working on getting that .net 2.0 sp2 package working?

thanks.

No effort, curiosity actually - I did the crosstie up for managed directx,
ergo I like to know when it doesn't work for folks.. and why =)

...when .NET 2.0 was current technology..ie; .NET 3.0 didn't yet exist,
only then did I see win32 programs specifying that you need a specific
.NET 2.0 service pack. Since .NET 3.0 (and beyond), references to a
win32 program needing .NET 2.0 assumes the final incantation of that
framework, which includes both of the .NET 2.0 service packs...

Yes, the wine devs -are- working on getting .NET 2.0 SP1/SP2 supports
into wine, but I do not know what the progress is.

Cheers!
