[Bug 57323] New: system32: wmvcore.dll Breaks Windows 7 Card Games (renaming/deleting it allows them to work)
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57323 Bug ID: 57323 Summary: system32: wmvcore.dll Breaks Windows 7 Card Games (renaming/deleting it allows them to work) Product: Wine Version: 9.19 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: garrettm4(a)protonmail.com Distribution: --- Created attachment 77274 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=77274 win7 Freecell works with wmvcore.dll renamed The Wine wmvcore.dll located in system32 prevents Windows Vista/7 card games from working. Simply renaming this dll allows these games to run using a clean Wine 9.19 prefix. This workaround has also been tested to work on Wine 9.1. The card games can be copied from Windows Vista, Windows 7 (with the CardGames.dll) or using https://win7games.com/#games to install them to the prefix. If using the Winaero installer, you can simply copy the game folder and use it directly, instead of installing every time. I'm not sure why this dll prevents the games from opening, but its omission doesn't seem to affect any of the other apps I use. Additionally, when using winetricks to install wmp11 (from a forum hint about getting the games to work), this dll is removed from the system32 folder during the install process. Apparently, wmp11 is not actually needed and simply worked by removing the one dll that prevented the games from opening correctly. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

Previously, the only way I could get the sound effects to work was to copy the wmasf.dll and wmvcore.dll from Windows 7 and add winecfg overrides for them. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.
