(I was trying to install Sid Meier's Pirates! based rouglhy on this guide: http://www.gamersonlinux.com/forum/threads/sid-meiers-pirates-guide.553/)

POL wiki advises to "File a bug report" in such cases. BTW is this forum regarded as a bug tracking facility? (Somewhat surprising, since there's two distinct wiki pages describing how to file a bug and how to post on the forum. A little puzzling, huh?)

They broke the link

You need to update the link manually. 2nd I think, you shouldn't link pirated app, as POL doesn't endorse pirated game.

 

You can use https://web.archive.org/web/20220308180554/http://download.microsoft.com/download/8/4/A/84A35BF1-DAFE-4AE8-82AF-AD2AE20B6B14/directx_Jun2010_redist.exe

 

Also as backup, as for pirating, you are on your own.
