native dll and wineprefix

[LadGalen]

Hi all

I installed office2007 and I read here

http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... &iId=12813

that I need to use native riched20.dll.

My problem is that the comment says to do not set the override globally. How can I do that ?

In winecfg when I add a dll I can chose :

Integrated ("intégrée (Wine)")
Native ("native (windows")
first Integrated then native ("intégrée puis native")
native then integrated ("native puis intégrée")
disable ("désactivé")

I check the 4th possibility : native then integrated

Thanks for your help.

What's recommended is to install Office to a separate wineprefix, in which case it's fine to set the override globally. "Globally" means you add the override for everything in the wineprefix. A global override will apply to apps that don't need it, and in the case of Office's riched20, the other apps won't be able to find it (and hence won't work), because Office installs its own riched20 to a private directory.

If you install Office to a wineprefix in which you have other things installed, you have to add each and every exe Office installs on the Applications tab, and then add an override for riched20 for each one individually on the Libraries tab. The override should be set to native only. That's a lot of work, hence the recommendation to just install Office to a separate wineprefix.

Thanks for your clear answer.

I do not know how to manage several wineprefix. I always use only one wineprefix.

I do not know how to create another wineprefix ? Can you give me some details or pick up several man pages ?

Thanks
