Problem with some games (MSVCR80.dll)

[Sepho]

Hi everybody!

I have installed wine in my arch and I was trying to install games. I can run Steam and Warcraft 3 but when I try to run games like "Fallout 3" or "Silent Hill" i get this error:

err:module:attach_process_dlls "MSVCR80.dll" failed to initialize, aborting
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"G:\\juegos\\Bethesda Softworks\\Fallout 3\\Fallout3.exe" failed, status c0000142


I tried a lot of ways, i use winetricks vcrun2005 and winetricks vcrun2005sp1 and don't work, I downloaded this library and put in ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32 and run "wine regsvr32 msvcr80.dll" to register and nothing good. After that i still getting this error.

Any idea?

Thanks for all!

I tgink it is vcrun2008, but look at the winetricks help and search
for the DLL, i know it is in one of the packages.

Make sure you have latest Wine version.

I downloaded this library and put in ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32

Don't do it, this particular dll will refuse to load from system32. And that's the error your are seeing.

I have the 1.1.16 wine version.

I put this dll in system32 to try something else, but then i deleted and ran again winetricks vcrun2005 vcrun2005sp1 but sill not work..

I don't know how can fix it :(:(

Yep, the last!

Any idea?... Please give me a hand, i want to play this games and i can't... and i want to do a talk at my university about the use of wine and I really want to solve this before.

Thanks for all!

Delete .wine directory
Run sh winetricks vcrun2005. Installing vcrun2005sp1 is up to you.
Keep an eye on the system32\winsxs directory structure to make sure it's created properly
Make the system32\winsxs directory read-only
Reinstall game. (?)

You can try to do that on the separate wineprefix (not ~/.wine).

Or just move ~/.wine aside. the copy winsxs directory. Also make sure there are no stray MSVCR80.dll files anywhere.
