My question is both general and specific. First the specific: I'm trying to run Logos 2.0 Bible software under the latest release of wine that I got and installed from cvs about 2 days ago. That release cured a lot of my woes (thanks to all who pointed me that way) but now when I try to run this particular program, it keeps telling me it can't load a particular DLL, specifically LEAD20.DLL which is part of the Logos package. I've checked my wine.conf for the location of the system folder and made sure the file is there; when that didn't work I copied the file to the program's own system folder, and I just keep getting the same message. I checked my Windows machine and found a couple of lines in the win.ini that weren't in my Linux one, so I added those and tried again. No help. What's the next step? Now the general: this seems to happen occasionally with various programs, can't load a particular dll. Is there a somewhat general cause for this in wine, or something along those lines? I'm wondering about things like registry entries, upper/lower-case issues, or some such. Thanks in advance, -- Dave Washburn http://www.nyx.net/~dwashbur Insert clever epigram here...or not

I could solve some dll issues by exporting the registry under windows and importing it in wine. One other (maybe obvious) possibility is that the permessions on the copied dll file are wrong.> > Now the general: this seems to happen occasionally with various programs, > can't load a particular dll.

Thanks in > advance,I'm pretty sure that upper/lower case doesn't matter in the dlloverrides section of the wine config file and in the path/file of a windows program (i.e. wine START.EXE = wine start.exe).
