Oh? I didn't realize that it could not be simply copied over to system32.

I just downloaded the latest winetricks from
http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks and it does _not_ have an
installed for MSVCR80.dll, and grepping the source code does not find
the string "msvcr80" in it at all.

Can I 'install' msvcr80.dll another way? If I put the file in
system32, is there a registry entry that I can add so that it will be
'installed'?
