Problem with an older VB program

Post by Lint6 »

I'm fairly new to linux and completely new to Wine, so please bear with me. I am trying to run a game, Extreme Warfare, an old wrestling simulator, from a thumb drive. When I browse to it through "browse C: drive" and double click, nothing happens. No error messages or anything. Doing it through the command line, I get the message
kirk@kirk-laptop:~/.wine/drive_c/EWR$ wine EWRevenge.exe
err:module:import_dll Library MSVBVM60.DLL (which is needed by L"C:\\EWR\\EWRevenge.exe") not found
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\\EWR\\EWRevenge.exe" failed, status c0000135
Looking through the AppDB, there was nothing listed about this particular problem. Can anyone help? Its just a simple game but it gives me something to do when at the Laundromat waiting for my wash to finish
