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: [e-mail]

    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.
