Attempting to download windows Journal

Post by Smubge »

In my attempt to download windows journal(ran the .msi after running winecfg and selecting windows 10) on EndeavourOS, I discovered an error.

Code: Select all

010c:err:module:import_dll Library MFC42u.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\Program Files\\Windows Journal\\journal.exe") not found
010c:err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Importing dlls for L"C:\\Program Files\\Windows Journal\\journal.exe" failed, status c0000135
The dll is located in ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/syswow64. However, wine, despite me deleting the file, and redoing the entire process atleast 5 times, refuses to recognize the existence of the .dll file

You need the 64-bit version of mfc42u.dll. Now comes the strange part: this file does not exist according to Microsoft, but it is present on Windows. (Do you still get it?)
The only trusted download location for this file I could find is the Windows 10 iso.

Before you download the iso file, maybe I have to disappoint you. If this is the program, then you run into another problem after adding mfc42u. The program also needs Microsoft Ink (InkObj.dll). Unfortunately, I have not found a solution to get it working.
