These are noise.  AFAIK only Slackware wants to mount the cdrom on
/cdrom (RH and incarnations use /mnt/cdrom and (I think) /mnt/floppy.
If you fix your config so it names things that really exist on your
system these errors will go away.

Okay, it didn't find it.  If you have pedump or pedisassem, try how they
like that file cards.dll.  maybe the file got broken while being ftp'd.
The only experience I have with windows ftp is using the ftp client with
wine and linux wu-ftpd.  The client likes to use ASCII mode, and this
makes garbage out of binary files.  If I tell it binary, it seems to
work OK.  What I was talking about looks more like this:

rundll32 40018000 0 Shell32,Control_RunDLL findfast.cpl 1
err:module:fixup_imports Module (file) Msi.dll needed by C:\windows\system\findfast.cpl not found
err:win32:PE_LoadLibraryExA can't load C:\windows\system\findfast.cpl
rundll32 TTFN 1

findfast.cpl is there, but I have no idea where to get Msi.dll, so it
isn't.  rundll32 is a little winelib program I am working on.

Or maybe we can tell better from --debugmsg +module,+fixup why it
doesn't find it.

Well, 1 out of 10 is not so bad for a first attempt.

That looks more like winedbg.  That last message is worrisome.  Are you
sure you haven't an old wineserver from a previous attempt lying around
getting in the way?

I have never seen this from wine.  Of course wine knows to skip the
stupid phony msdos stub in a normal exe file, unless the file is somehow
broken.

In general, wine builtin dll's work better with wine than windows native
ones do, but some are rather incomplete, and since anyone who has the
urge can make a dll, there are not wine builtins for all possible dll's.

For now, I think you would do better to supply native msvcrt and crtdll,
and set the [DllOverrides] in the  config file to use them rather than
the wine builtins.  Some apps may do better with native
shell,shell32,shlwapi or possibly some others of the less central dlls.
Do not mix native and builtins in a set, native shell,shell32 with
builtin shlwapi say, or native shlwapi with builtin shell32.
