Creatures 1 fails to launch with error "importing dlls failed, status c0000135"

[sg_the_bee]

After successfully installing Creatures 1 using the GOG Albian Years installer, whenever I actually try to launch the game, I get the following error:

Code: Select all

00d0:err:module:import_dll Library mfc40.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\Program Files\\Creatures 1\\Launcher.exe") not found
00d0:err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Importing dlls for L"C:\\Program Files\\Creatures 1\\Launcher.exe" failed, status c0000135

I've tried this with both Bottles and Q4Wine at this point, with default settings. As I'm new to using Wine, I'm guessing there's a setting I need to tweak? Thanks in advance for any suggestions you might have!
