wine users - Jun 2008 - Wine won't load native DLLs

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 then added some DLL override as native.  All I get is

tony at osiris:~$ wine "C:\\Program Files\\taxcalc 2008\\taxcalc.exe"
err:module:import_dll Library ole32.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\Program
Files\\taxcalc 2008\\taxcalc.exe") not found
err:module:import_dll Library OLEAUT32.dll (which is needed by
L"C:\\Program Files\\taxcalc 2008\\taxcalc.exe") not found
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\\Program
Files\\taxcalc 2008\\taxcalc.exe" failed, status c0000135

It looks like Wine cannot find the DLLs.  They are in System32 (in Linux) and I
have used regsvr32 to register them.

What am I doing wrong?

Are you adding the actual native dll's? Try getting them from a site
like dll-files.com and putting them in the application's folder.

They are native DLL's which were installed by the application, but if I need
any I can get them from my Windows partition.  I have them in both the system32
folder and the application's folder.
