System.Dll NotFoundException

[wine4work]

Hi, i'm running into a wall right and need some help cause the program i'm working on just won't get to run as it should. It says it's missing a dll but that file is in the same folder as the .exe and don't know what to do about this.
To be more precise i'm making a new Thread run and call a function that is on this custom dll. Could someone explain what i'm doing wrong or how to fix this? Thanks.

If you run Wine from the folder that contains the exe file, it should find the DLL file as well.
Or you could use wine start

Code: Select all

cd /path/to/exe
wine program.exe
# or
wine start /unix /path/to/exe/program.exe

If this does not help, you can use the loaddll and module winedebug channels to see what is going wrong.

Code: Select all

WINEDEBUG="+loaddll,+module" wine program.exe

Thanks, this has demostrated that other dll's are being loaded but not this one i need in particular. Also tried to register this dll but couldn't.

Does the DLL file appear in the debug output? Or is the file just skipped?
You could also try to copy the DLL file to ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/ or ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/syswow64.

Have been looking it closer, seems it tries to load, and it does, but it puts me off that (wrapper managed-to-native) text..

Code: Select all

if i take away the dll and move it to other place it makes no effect appart from the exception.message displaying psnetworkstatus.dll instead of psNetworkStatus_startHostStatusService2 inside the breakpoint log I made, thanks for the help.
