I have a Windows XP license and I can make the files from installed Windows XP available to Wine via a mounted read-only NTFS volume. Is there a way to tell Wine in one fell swoop to use just the Windows DLLs?
Wine will not work with all the Windows dlls, and they cannot be used from your Windows partition. Copy only those dlls you know are needed for the apps you want to run to the wineprefix. Note that some dlls can't be simply copied, they have to be installed.
