regsvr32: Failed to load DLL 'l3codecx.ax'

Post by plarke »

I am installing age of empires III on steam for windows in arch linux, and I got l3codecx.ax from an XP computer in my house.
I put it in C:\windows\system32 and tried to start the game, but it crashes with the same error message that says
l3codecx.ax was not found.

so I try to run regsvr32 on it but get this:
regsvr32: Failed to load DLL 'l3codecx.ax'

Use winetricks to install l3codecx. Make sure you have the latest winetricks and the latest development release of Wine.

As I stated in your other thread, winetricks l3codecx works fine here. Make sure you have the latest Wine and winetricks and a clean, 32 bit wineprefix.
