Your idea is to not check for missing dlls and instead just run the
executable as a way to check that all the required dlls are present?
The problem is that if a dll is missing the executable remains stuck
while Windows displays a dialog saying the dll is missing. Also, killing
the process does not dismiss the windows dialog.
Maybe we could take a page out of the shlexec test and wait for the
executable for 5 seconds and do a FindWindowA("#32770", "Windows") to
click on the OK ourselves.
But I believe on Windows 8+ we had problems due to Windows popping up a
window offering to install the missing dll but we could not intercept
that one. That said the dlls would be installed on machines that run
WineTest regularly anyway.
