[Wine] Using OLE DB Connections from Wine

[Edward Costello]

Thanks for the replies. 

I was pointed to http://wiki.jswindle.com/index.php/Dcom98 which describes manually unpacking the DLLs into C:\windows\system and using the WINEDLLOVERRIDES variable. However I found that it only actually worked when I unpacked them to C:\windows\system32 which solves my immediate problem anyway. I suspect this works because it overwrites the wine DLLs in system32. 

I'm planning to update the wiki but I don't know enough about windows to know which is more "correct": 
Unpacking to C:\windows\system and removing the ole* dlls from system32 
or Unpacking to C:\windows\system32 and overwriting the dlls. 

or are the two equivalent. 

Thanks again 
Ed

No it won't.  You have to rm .wine/drive_c/windows/system32/ole* first.
