How to copy/paste .DLLs from/to Wine?

Hiisi · Post by **Hiisi** » Mon Jun 16, 2008 10:00 am

I`ve read FAQ, but didn`t found how to paste some DLLs to c:\windows\system32\
Can anyone help me? I use fedora core 7, wine 1.0rc3.

If you're determined to replace DLLs, first, don't copy them to
c:\windows\system32 in wine. Instead, use wineconfig to do this. And
don't do this unless the appdb tells you to: Wine has it's own DLLs and
things are less likely to work using the Microsoft ones in Wine.

Code: Select all

cp ~/Desktop/my.dll ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32

And as stated in FAQ you should _ONLY_ do that when needed. This is in case Wine doesn't have the required dll.
If you want to replace Wine's own dll with the native one (from windows) you will have to force Wine to use it by setting it to "(native, builtin)" in 'winecfg' Libraries tab.
