Bug ID: 49368
           Summary: Enhancement: check if wine can access native dll's
           Product: Wine
           Version: 5.6
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org
          Reporter: vedeifun@byom.de

This is not a bug. But this is suggestion for an improvement. Wine would be
more user friendly if we could add this functionality.
Until now, when we open winecfg tab library and choose a dll from the list of
overwritable dll's, then we do not know, if there is really a "nativ dll" in
our prefix. And if wine can find it.
So when a particular program does not work correctly in wine it could be, that
it is just, because wine can not find the dll we have overritten.
Suggestion:
When we select a dll for overriding and wine can not access it, wine should
display a warning message right after we select the DLL.
Alternatively you could implement an additional button called "Check access to
native dll's" in the library register.
This way we were able to check if wine really can find the native dll's when
selecting the dll's. Or if we have to copy one in.
