I can't install the PhysX program with Wine

The output of

wine PhysX_9.21.0713_SystemSoftware.exe

is as follows :

0024:fixme:ntdll:NtQuerySystemInformation info_class SYSTEM_PERFORMANCE_INFORMATION
0024:fixme:exec:SHELL_execute flags ignored: 0x00000100

I am using wine version 9.9

Here seems to be a working description on what is needed to run PhysX in wine:

https://askubuntu.com/questions/593646/installing-physx-under-wine

winetricks - use it to install some things into the prefix prior to running the installer

./winetricks d3dx9 droid winxp sound=alsa volnum vcrun2008 dotnet20 ie6 corefonts

and read further after that mention

It is mentioned here:

Wine-Staging PhysX - WineHQ Wiki

so it seems to work under wine or wine-staging (don’t know whether the difference is important)

I did not try myself - but I probably will :nerd_face:

XY Problem detected.

Why are you attempting to do what you’re doing? If it’s for a game, then there should normally be no issue as both Proton and Lutris scripts will take care of it for you.

yep - I didn’t even suspect that it was not a regular program

I installed wine-9.11-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst from the arch linux website and the problem was fixed.
