Importing DLLS: failed, status c0000135

[sal8917]

I'm trying to run a windows program, but it just won't run for some reason. After a few hours of trying every solution on google (and many on here), I've given up.

Code: Select all

env WINEPREFIX="/home/demo/.wine-new" wine C:\\Program\ Files\\Topaz\ Labs\ LLC\\Topaz\ Video\ Enhance\ AI\\Topaz\ Video\ Enhance\ AI.exe 
0108:err:module:import_dll Library d3d12.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\Program Files\\Topaz Labs LLC\\Topaz Video Enhance AI\\aiengine.dll") not found
0108:err:module:import_dll Library aiengine.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\Program Files\\Topaz Labs LLC\\Topaz Video Enhance AI\\Topaz Video Enhance AI.exe") not found
0108:err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Importing dlls for L"C:\\Program Files\\Topaz Labs LLC\\Topaz Video Enhance AI\\Topaz Video Enhance AI.exe" failed, status c0000135

I've tried copying the dlls to sys32, and syswow, tried updating, reinstalling wine (using 7.0), reinstalling the program, changing the prefix & installed every dll in winetricks. Can anyone help?

Other programs work fine.

& installed every dll in winetricks

This is (almost) always a bad idea.
You only use a winetrick if you know it will work.

For now, rename or throw away your .wine-new prefix and start over.
To get Topaz Video Enhance AI working, only vcrun2017 is needed.
