I need to know is there some utility I can use to install all my Windows XP DLLs on my Wine install? I have a legal copy of Windows XP I never use, so I might as well add all the native DLLs to my Wine install, thus insuring all my Windows apps will always work, no need for the reverse engineered Wine DLLs to run my Windows applications.

The wine users guide tells you how to do what you want. It neglects to mention that this is a bad idea. Daniel

Unfortunately using windows dlls work ensure that all windows apps always work and can - in some circumstances - break compatibility. The best thing to do if you definetly want to go down this route would be to copy the system & system32 folders from a currently installed XP and leave wine to choose which native/builtin dll to use.
