[Bug 32034] New: Install refused due to missing mfc42.dll. Winetricks 20120308 won't install mfc42.dll either.
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32034 Bug #: 32034 Summary: Install refused due to missing mfc42.dll. Winetricks 20120308 won't install mfc42.dll either. Product: Wine Version: 1.4 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: blocker Priority: P2 Component: documentation AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: peter.brewster(a)comcast.net Classification: Unclassified Wine users have had problems with missing mfc42.dll for years as evidenced in forums and other records. The error reports are not useful and the Wine user, or would be user, is frustrated at best. Winetricks will not install mfc42.dll either, reporting a bogus checksum problem. Microsoft is similarly not useful. A suggested fix is for Wine documentation to explicitly recognize the problem and provide the required solution or direct the user to it. In the instant case, fresh Ubuntu 12.04, Wine 1.4 and Winetricks 20120308, attempting to install Irfanview 433, the solution was to copy mfc42.dll from a Windows XP system into Wine's drive_c/windows/system32 folder. No installation required. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32034 --- Comment #2 from Peter Brewster <peter.brewster(a)comcast.net> 2012-10-22 19:08:34 CDT --- The problem is documentation useful to new(er) Wine users. Just Google "mfc42" and read thru years of frustration by the persisters. Those who gave up are lost without a trace. This problem is not Bug 657 - although a useful response to 657 might be a good close to both. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

As for documentation, the FAQ has had a section on what to do about missing dlls for at least 4 years; users' failure to read it is not a Wine bug. Marking invalid. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
