DirectX for modern games error

Hi, I installed steam with recommended settings, which is a windows xp 32bit bottle. Wanted to install DirectX into that bottle to run Star Wars Empire at War, which works out of the box for some people. I install DirectX for modern games with recommended settings but it gives me the error: "An internal system error occured. Please refer to DXError.log and DirectX.log in your Windows folder to determine problem."

Any idea what might be causing this?

System:
OS: Arch Linux x86_64
Host: Blade Stealth 3.06
Kernel: 4.14.7-1-ARCH
Shell: bash 4.4.12
Resolution: 3200x1800
DE: KDE
WM: KWin
CPU: Intel i7-7500U (4) @ 3.500GHz
GPU: Intel HD Graphics 620
Memory: 3910MiB / 15942MiB
Crossover 17

Have you tried to install the game without installing "DirectX for Modern Games" before? Maybe this last one installs an inappropriate version of DirectX for this game... Usually the game installer should install DirectX itself.

I mistyped, actually had the problem with divinity: original sin 2, the installer would not finish and give me an runtime error and global vars error. It would finish though, but the game would not start. I thought this was a directx problem, because I could never install it. Do you have any debugging tips?

So, let me understand:

1) The game you want to run is NOT Star Wars Empire at War, you want to run Divinity: Original Sin 2, right?
2) Is the error with D:OS2 related with DirectX?

In OpenSuse 42.3 using a 32-bit XP bottle it is necessary to add mscoree to the Existing Libraries in Wine Configuration before installing DirectX For Modern Games.
