Run winecfg, add your .exe to the list on the first tab, select it, switch
to "DLL overrides" tab, add needed dlls there and set them to "Native,
Builtin" order. But if you just set all dlls that program use to "native,
Builtin", it will most probably not work. Windows dlls, especially "core"
ones will almost surely crash in Wine. Wine is compatible (to some degree)
with Windows on the external, "visible" API, but it do the internals
differently (no Wine developers are actually know how Windows do these
internals - it would be copyright violation that'd make the whole Wine
project vulnerable to legal threats). Applications use that API and work. On
the contrary, "core" Windows DLLs rely exactly on those hidden and
undocumented internals and copying those DLLs from Windows will often do
more harm than good.

You should by all means use winetricks to install needed dlls, and try to
copy dlls from Windows manually only as the last resort. And you should not
copy all dlls, only those that not present in Wine or don't work properly,
one at a time. It may be tricky to determine, which ones are not working,
yes.

Also, you should note that to maximize your chances, you should install
everything to the clean prefix (just rename your current ~/.wine directory
and run winecfg - it will create a shiny new prefix for you).
