Can I remove fakedlls from wine load process?

Post by dictionary0320 »

After reading the code in the load_dll function, fakedlls mostly play the role of placeholder and there is not real code in the fake dll file except some header and version info. so Can I remove the process of fake dll code in the load_dll function?

Why would you want to do that?

The fake dlls are there for apps that refuse to run if they don't find a dll in the expected place (system32 or sysWOW64).

I have said that the fakedlls mostly play the role of placeholder and load_dll function just want to know fakedll is there or not

Sure, you can do a lot. The question is: Why?
