[SOLVED] How to install XAudio2_8.dll in Wineprefix?

I'm trying to get FFXIV to work, which crashes immediately with wine giving this error

0165:err:module:import_dll Library XAudio2_8.dll (which is needed by L"Z:\\lstorage\\d\\.wine\\drive_c\\Program Files\\SquareEnix\\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn\\game\\SoundCoreBridge.dll") not found

I have tied to install it using winetricks with these commands:

WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/lstorage/d/.wine winetricks xact
WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/lstorage/d/.wine winetricks faudio

If it is relevant I am using wine-staging. I don't really know what I'm expecting as a solution as I'm still pretty new to wine, so if someone could help that would be great!

After having read this forum post, I have tried copying xaudio2_8.dll from a 64bit prefix to system32 in this prefix, unfortunately this did not help. This does seem to indicate there is something other wrong (than just the dll missing) with the set up. I don't know what information I would need to give for someone else to be able to help me. So it would be great if someone could tell me what I need to do.

So I feel like a bit of an idiot, I wasn't setting the WINEPREFIX environment variable properly in my script and as such none of the changes I made to the prefix mattered. But for people reading this in the future, who are looking for the dll. It can be found in 64bit prefix and you just need to copy it over to the system32 in the relevant prefix!
