  1. You can try installing Direct X using a tool called winetricks, since it seems the error is related to that.

    1. Get winetricks: Open up a terminal, and type in sudo apt-get install winetricks.
    2. Run winetricks and install Direct X: You have 2 ways of doing this.
      1. Run winetricks itself and install the components you need (e.g. Direct X 9, or d3dx9 as its called, will be a good start!)
      2. Alternatively use the terminal directly to install them, e.g. winetricks d3dx9.

    Please note you may also need IE6 (or above) since it sounds like its using an ActiveX COM (which only IE uses, afaik). Using winetricks you can get this too!

    • Either use the tool, or type in: winetricks ie6 in a terminal.

    Hope this helps, let me know if this works.

    Please check WineHQ App Database (search is on the top-right) to see if your application you're trying to use is listed, since it might give you better steps to get it to work.
