I just tried installing gdiplus using winetricks, on a debian testing
system.
This failed, as winetricks tried to copy stuff into windows/system32,
where I happen to have Windows/System32.
I first tried making symlinks windows->Windows and system32->System32.
winetricks would run, but the app using gdiplus.dll now failed to find it.
The file was in Windows/System32 as expected.
So I removed my links, and used search&replace on winetricks, to replace all
occurences of "windows" and "system32" with captialized versions. Then I ran
winetricks again. The installation succeeded this time too, but the app
could still not find the dll in System32.
I finally gave up and copied the dll into the directory where the app
is installed. This worked, but is problematic; it will have to be done for
every app that uses this dll.
Why did you rename system32? Are you linking your ~/.wine/drive_c to a
real windows installation?
I never renamed system32 - I don't like uppercase in filenames. I can
only guess that wine did it that way itself in 2003 when I installed it.
I have no real windows installation. I use wine to run the one windows
program I need - a raw converter for my digital camera.
