Summary: MFC42.DLL is not part of wine even though required by many programs Product: Wine Version: CVS Platform: Other OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-binary AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: ergzay@everyoneproductions.com
I have noticed that MFC42.dll is not included with wine. I use the MFC42.dll from Windows 98 SE. I placed it in ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system/. This works and the below errors don't happen with it installed there, but this shouldn't happen in the first place if wine truely aims to replace windows. I looked through the other similar bug that was marked as WONTFIX but it was also mentioned that MFC42.dll is freely distributable. If that is so why isn't it included in wine. Here is the output of two programs requiring this that do not run.
