wine users - Mar 2008 - how to override dll

I notice that there are some proxy dll inside system32 eg. comctl32.dll, What is
the correct procedure to override it? Is that OK that just to copy my native 
comctl32.dll to overwrite that dll and then run winecfg to set the override tab?
And if that proxy dll was overwritten, how to restore to use built-in version?

regards,

Yes, although for that dll you also have to delete the
fake manifest in windows/winsxs for the dll in question.
I encourage you to try using winetricks when possible,
as it gets its dlls straight from microsoft.com, and handles
the winsxs detail for you.  So:
    wget http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks
    sh winetricks cc580
But my question is: why override comctl32?  What app
are you running, and why does it need native comctl32?

Aw, the safest way is to blow away the .wine directory
and reinstall your apps.   That's what I do.

If the app explicitly looks for the file, e.g. by doing CreateFile
or FindFirstFile on it.

Thanks for explanation.
