This is meant as generic instructions in case an AppDB entry
for a certain program doesn't exist.
- Make sure your Wine release is recent.
- You can run winecheck this handy tool is located in the /tools directory.
(chmod +x winecheck; ./winecheck)
to verify the most important aspects of Wine environment configuration.
- Run your program
- In case of failure, try different builtin, native DLL settings:
Run Wine with --debugmsg +loaddll to find out which
DLLs are loaded as native or builtin.
Then make sure appropriate native versions are in the
c:\windows\system directory as configured in your Wine
config file. There are five options you can choose from when setting
dll overrides, I will use commctrl here as an example.
"commctrl" = "native, builtin"
"commctrl" = "builtin, native "
"commctrl" = "native"
"commctrl" = "builtin"
"commctrl" = ""
