Hi again
Im currntly debugging a game, and was trying to set up a new fresh wine prefix.
But whenever I create a prefix with "WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine winecfg" (or other folder name), I end up with many Microsoft (??) dlls already in the system32 folder...
Now my question, and I feel kinda nooby for asking it: are those really windows dlls (like you would get with winetricks) or are those dlls made by wine, replaycing genuine ones? Im talking d3dx9_43 etc as well... If so, were are winetricks dlls saved?
This really confuses me. I purged all wine software, including winetricks, no difference though...
Thanks in advantage
Does fresh wineprefix contain Windows dlls?
Re: Does fresh wineprefix contain Windows dlls?
Wine populates /system32 with fake dlls to fool apps/games that look for dlls there and refuse to start if they don't find them. In a fresh wineprefix, all the dlls in that directory should be Wine's. However, windows installers also put dlls in that directory, so if you have installed anything to a wineprefix (including things installed with winetricks), some of the dlls there may be real Windows ones.
