Summary: Rise of Nations installer "cannot load pidgen.dll" Product: Wine Version: 1.3.2 Platform: x86-64 URL: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=versi on&iId=4403 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: shiningarcanine@gmail.com
A week ago, I tried installing Rise of Nations under WINE 1.3.1 and it failed. Since WINE 1.3.2 came out today, I decided to do a little experiment to see if I could get Rise of Nations working on my system. I made a backup of my WINE directory before doing this, so I can repeat and vary my attempt any number of times necessary for debugging purposes. Anyway, after putting my CD key into the installer, I was informed that it "cannot load pidgen.dll".
The application database says that mfc42.dll is required to install and run Rise of Nations and following its advice to run "winetricks mfc42" fixes it. WINE should not rely on official Microsoft Windows DLLs for its operation and I could not find an existing bug describing this problem, so I am filing one.

Are you saying that after doing winetricks mfc42, it does not have the pidgen.dll error?

--- Comment #3 from Richard shiningarcanine@gmail.com 2010-09-03 22:26:35 CDT --- There is a typo in my attachment description. The version of WINE I am using is 1.3.2, not 1.3.1. If someone could modify it to reflect the correct version, it would be appreciated. I apologize for any confusion my typo might cause.

So, yeah, someday we should probably ship mfc42. But that day is years away. Stated policy, IIRC, is that this is currently beyond the scope of Wine.

In the past few months there has been at least one person show up on irc with an interest in implementing mfc42.dll, not sure if they're still lurking in the shadows or have given up. Someone recently posted on wine-devel asking for general advice on implementing mfc42.dll (Benjamin Zink). Years away might be a little pessimistic.
Closing.
