How do I properly install windowscodecs on 64bit wine

Post by Armonius »

I'd really like someone who knows more about this to help me out.. I can't get my VST plugin to render properly because It needs windowscodecs.dll. but using winetricks to install it makes the plugins give me a black screen.
I always end up getting an error code that essentially means I'm trying to run a 32bit DLL in a 64bit prefix.
Even though I did see winetricks recognize it as a 64bit Dl. I'm also using the lastest winetricks too. This was a bug on previous versions (I think) but I've exhausted my options at this point. Anything I'm missing?

VST is a plugin when using a digital audio work station. It's like a virtual instrument or virtual effect that I can load up
And no I didnt do that. I'll definitely do it when I get back laptop
