This bug is invalid. The mfc42.dll file is a redistributable library which lies outside the scope of Wine. The winetricks script (verb vcrun6) should help you satisfy this dependency.
Oh. My mistake then.
I thought the goal with wine was to use 100% microsoft free code (redistributable or not), and thusly filed this bug. But if that is not the case, then I'm fine with just using the redistributable package and the bug can be closed.
Ideally, yes. But since that dll can be redistributed legally, it's not a high priority. There is plenty of other work to do.
Maybe once we've got most other dlls covered, but until then, unlikely.
That said, if someone were to implement the dll, I don't see why it wouldn't be accepted. But I don't see any wine developer spending their time/resources to implement it.
