No, that is _not_ what the manual says.  You can put them in the
_windows_ directory named in
[wine]
"System" =
or
"Path" =

which in turn has its drive letter mapped to a Unix directory in a
{Drive  ]
entry.

I see you have drive a

[Drive Z]
"Path" = "/"

Thus giving Wine and any windose app that likes to try a fair crack at
your whole *nix filesystem (I hope you don't let root run wine), but do
you really have
"System" = "Z:\\windows\\system"
???

If so, I don't know why it doesn't find it.  Z: is kind of an odd drive
to have "System" on, most folks are content with C: or D:, but I don't
know why it wouldn't work.

Oh?  What is msaccess.exe, pardon my iggorance about MS?

And I thought my setup was odd.  I have C: mapped to /gp/fault so I can
load dlls out of /gp/fault/windows/system.
