First of all when you are considering copying dll's over from a winblows system to make an app work, there are two directories to consider: /home/yourhome/.transgaming/c_drive/windows /home/yourhome/.transgaming/c_drive/windows/system32 Where you put them should reflect where they were installed on the winblows system. Where did you copy them to? Second issue. Some applications require that their dlls (some dlls, not all) be listed in the winblows registry. In order to get that information, you need a registry editor in order to extract the registry statements to a .reg file. Then you take the .reg file and integrate it into either the user.reg or system.reg file in the /home/yourhome/.transgaming directory. It is possible to do this manually if you carefully translate the winblows registry syntax over to the MUCH EASIER WineX format. Not tough, unless you've got a bunch of registry entries. Now, in order to complete that step, you need a registry editor that is capable of searching the winblows registry and looking for keywords. I recommend the Norton registry editor that was released for winblows 98, if indeed you have 98. I havent' tested the Norton 2000 or XP versions, so I can't vouch for them. I've heard many valid complaints about newer versions of Norton Utilities; they bear no resemblance to the excellent Norton utils that were in existence in the Dos age of computing, which existed on up into the years of winblows 98... so Caveat Emptor. I don't consider the castrated dos that was released with 2000 to really be valid, therefore I don't acknowledge it's existence, except to say that it is a waste of perfectly good cyberspace. Uh...where was I? Oh yes. Having said that, it's important that you not worry about registry entries until you are sure that winex won't run the application without them. The procedure is to make sure that you have the dll's that the app is complaining about in the proper locations listed above. Then, after all of them are in place, if there are still complaints or failures, then you start looking for registry entries to migrate. Bear in mind that in all this I'm making the huge assumption that you have already installed this app on a real winblows install.
