How do I register MFC42.dll

Hello,

I am trying to install IrfanView, so I downloaded and placed mfc42.dll in my ./wine/drive_c/windows/system32 folder.

Now I need to register this in the wine configuration window, but how? The library tab gives me an option of a new library override, but what am I trying to override here (there is no mfc42 entry to override)?

Thanks for any help.

Okay, scratch this, all I had to do was put the mfc42.dll in the system32 folder for IrfanView to install. Didn't have to register anything.

You don't need to. Copying mfc42.dll (and for many apps, mfc42u.dll!) into system32 is all you need to do.

winetricks mfc42 does both for you.

Hi Dan, thanks. You are right, just putting it in system32 worked.

BTW, I can't use winetricks as I have a 64 bit version of wine.
