Says missing DLL but I am not missing it.

I am trying to run a program that needs MFC42.DLL. I downloaded the dll from a site and put it in the system32 folder, but it still did not recognize it. I changed the permissions to be more lenient but that did not help either. So I found and used

winetricks vcrun6 mfc42

After doing this I made a terrible mistake. To make sure that it really added MFC42.dll and was not still the file I downloaded from the internet I decided to delete MFC42.dll and rerun winetricks. But winetricks said that vcrun6 and mfc42 were already installed so they did nothing.

Now I have no MFC42.DLL and I'm afraid my program would not recognize it if I did have one.

What do I do?!? Thanks.

This was the error I got

err:module:import_dll Library MFC42.DLL (which is needed by L"Z:\\home\\ross\\.wine\\drive_c\\Program Files\\Program_Folder\\T4CLauncher.dll") not found

Did you cd to the directory where the exe is located before trying to run it?

Just guessing, but try:
wine regsvr32 /u MFC42.DLL
That should unregister the file and then winetricks may reinstall it.

Either 'cd' into directory with program, use 'start /unix' to start it or copy that dll into system32.

No, that dll does hot register itself.

I know that Vitamin has stated to copy MFC42.dll into the system32
directory, but you may also need to copy it into the program directory
as well. Some Windows programs ship with this file included with them
and expect to find it in the product installation directory. Sadly,
Wine cannot and should not fix this.
