similar to: Copying the Windows Folder into Wine?

What really matters is not whether Wine has a Windows drive and filesystem to sit on top of, but whether or not Wine can use native Windows DLLs instead of its builtin ones. Some DLLs in Wine are so perfect that they can be used in Windows - no benefit will be gained from running an app that uses these natively. Some of Wine's DLLs are buggy or incomplete - using stock native Windows ones

Hey, I just have the two questions from the subject. I'd like to keep wine updated to latest version (even if not the stable), how can I do it? Second, I would like to use the native DLLs from my windows copy, is there an instructive on how to replace wine's with those? I'd like to test if some games that do not work currently will work with native dlls. Thank you in advance.

Hi all. As said in the subject, we wonder whether is possible to use some native MS dlls (comctl32.dll, commctrl.dll) in a wine installation, for commercial purpose. And, if possible, what kind of restrictions are supposed to be applicated? I'm sure I'm not the first asking such a thing... Thx

Hello, I'm trying to play a game (Star Wars: Rebellion) and it mostly works except for the tactical battle mode. There have been workarounds suggested on the appdb page (http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=181&iTestingId=33818), which include getting a native d3drm.dll, which I did. This and one other native DLL (d3dxof.dll) reduced the number of errors and

HI Trying to install Divx9 using winetricks. Using Ubuntu 8.10 and have cabextract installed, and my graphics card has it's driver installed (NVIDIA GEforce FX 5200). Installation seems to go ok but does not re-start machine and there appear to be error messages in the terminal window, despite the fact that it says DivX is isntalled. Testing results by trying to play Age of Empires II -

I`ve read FAQ, but didn`t found how to paste some DLLs to c:\windows\system32\ Can anyone help me? I use fedora core 7, wine 1.0rc3.

the winecfg confused me about DLL overriding. In the 'libraries' tab, if i specified a Dll file name and click 'Add', how does Wine know where to load the native file when need? does it mean i also have to copy the native file into the "c:\windows\system[32]" directory? if so, why i have to bother with the winecfg, why not directlly copy files into the

So here, i looked a bit around the web on the subject and found: - That using wine such way can be damaging to the partition and/or windows it self. - That using original Windows DLLs can be quite helpful to some applications. As you can see results were sided, it seemed successful to some. My Idea was: - Through fstab, make the partition automatically mounted on /media/winxp (already) - Make a

Hello all, First , let me say that I am running wine without windows. I am using a cross compiler to code a win32 app. I then run the app using wine. I am wondering if I copy say -- mfc42.dll to my fake windows system directory, is it possible to write mfc style code? I can get the dlls-- I'm just wondering if I can use them under wine...

All, This is a more difficult problem than it appears. I would like to convert the Windows registry that already exists on my machine over to Wine's registry, but I don't see how that is going to be done since Wine will look at its own registry and NOT the reg files on my Windows partition. Do I need to drag the Windows reg files (and what are their names?) to the WIne partition on my

Hi all I signed myself up as the appdb maintainer to TaxCalc about a year ago so I thought it about time I did something to try and get it to work. I know it does not work 'out of the box' so I was trying to use a few DLL overrides to pin down which native Wine libraries were causing difficulties (and so I can give some guidance on appdb). I have addeed taxcalc.exe in wine configuration

Dear Wine-users! As I have a Windows 2000 installation on my Linux system, too, I want to make Wine use native Microsoft-DLLs where needed. But my problem is now to determine, which native DLLs I should use! Is there a way to find out of the error messages Wine dumps to the console which DLL contains that code (so which one I need to replace by the native one)? For instance, after

Hello, I've been trying to compile Wine on Cygwin with the idea of running Windows apps through an X server. I've had mixed success. Short story: This is a picture of Wine's notepad.exe running on my Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and displayed on my Cygwin/X server. I tried to display it remotely - obviously it works. There are some major problems, but I do believe that somebody who knows

Hello. I'm trying to run Age of Kings multiplayer that seems to run fine for several other users. I followed the instruction that says: To get multiplayer working for such games (at least those that use a DirectPlay version prior to 8), place the DLLs in this archive in Wine's windows/system32 directory, then add DLL overrides (native,builtin) for: dplayx, dpnet, dpnhpast and dpwsockx.

Hi I am running Slackware Linux 8.0 with Kernel 2.4.5 and perl 5.6.1. I have my windows partition(D:) mounted at /windows and my fat startuppartition(C:) at /dos. Windows itself is found in /windows/windows. I tried installing Wine-20010824 using wineinstall and these are the problems I had: - When wineinstall was searching for existing windows installations it said: 'Windows was not

Dear good wine people, I wanted to use cedga or wine so i downloaded all the required packages (mesa, SDL, freetype, etc) and downloaded wineCVs.sh and runned it.

I'm a new user of Ubuntu 9.04 and have installed Wine 1.1.28. Have not been able to get Trackmania Nations Forever 2.11.11 to start despite the AppDB indicating it should be fine. Installer worked fine, but program crashes on startup with an error message saying "Application has encountered a serious error and needs to close". Dump file indicates an unhandled exception. First

Yes I know this is stupid, but I do not understand the difference between Native and Builtin, in that Native is the original Windows dll Builtin is the Wine version OK, but what is in the drive_C/windows/system32 folder? are these the Builtin dlls? or are they just stubs needed to fool the programs into thinking that the dll exists? If they are just stubs and I want to use a Native dll for just

Wine Enthusiasts, I'm new to Wine and am having a problem installing some software. I didn't see the application in question in the Application Database. I'm hoping the problem is something simple and that perhaps a Wine guru on the list can point me in the right direction. I don't have Windoze installed on any of my boxes. Unfortunately I now find myself needing to run a
