Ah, I remember this bug. Surprised to see variations of it still kicking
around. At any rate, it has indeed been a long time since this was reported and
after reviewing things with a different set of eyes (much more mature eyes), I
agree with others that this should be a low priority, if any.

Richard: linked in some comments above are some downloads that will install
mfc42.dll for you. Once it is installed, then the Rise of Nations installer
should work without any problems. If, however you have problems after
installing one of those downloads and verifying that the necessary dll is
installed on your system, please feel free to open a new bug report regarding
breakage when using that native dll.

I also agree with Dan's comments a couple of years ago about a possible popup
for interesting messages. Missing shared object libs would be a handy one to
have, since Fedora x86_64 doesn't, at present, install OpenAL i686 by default,
and since we do already have a popup about wine-gecko at first launch.

I'll take this to the list before filing a bug, to get opinions on it. Sure
there are higher priorities, but I've seen some lower priority things sneak in
lately. :-)
