DLL missing
If a DLL is missing, you need to install DirectX9. Download it here.
On Linux with Wine, you have more or less working DirectX9 DLL's, but in order to get the good DLL's, you need winetricks. When you have it, run "winetricks d3dx9 dinput8" in a terminal. Optionally, if you have no sound (this was an issue I had with the HSiFS demo on Steam) run "winetricks directmusic directplay"
Japanese locale
With an unmodified copy of Touhou 6, the filenames of the files containing the game's data, have kanji in them. Since the main executable "東方紅魔郷.exe" uses a locale dependent function to find the game data, the game will not run with an English locale. Thankfully Locale Emulator exists in order to help with this.
On Linux you need to remove the "#" and the space right after it in the line "# ja_JP.UTF-8 UTF-8" from the file "/etc/locale.gen". Once you did that, run "sudo locale-gen" in the terminal. Then you can use the command "LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 wine 東方紅魔郷.exe" to run the game.
Both methods can be used to fix problems with other games as well as with the installer as well.
If possible, avoid the installer
The installer is there to make setting up DirectX9 in combination with copying the game over to the main drive more user friendly, but by installing DirectX9 and copying the game from the CD manually, the installer can be completely avoided.

Download DX8 to DX9 converter and extract the files from the .zip file into the game's folder.
