           Summary: Missing DLLs when running Reason
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-files
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: silverblade_uk at hotmail.com


This is quite a strange bug.

I realize that WINE uses its own equivalents of the Windows DLLs to do things, 
so applications use WINE's internal DLLs rather than Windows ones (after all, 
that is the entire point of WINE - to act like Windows.)

Anyway, I tried running Propellerheads Reason (www.propellerhead.se) from my 
Windows drive, and it complained about a missing shell32.dll. So, I copied it 
into my virtual C drive, and tried again. This time, it reported another DLL, 
and each time would report others (including gdi32.dll, user32.dll, 
kernel32.dll ...)

After a while, it was happy, and started up, but gave the error "An unknown 
error occurred" or something similar.

I think that Reason might be attempting to search for DLLs in the virtual 
Windows/System folder. Would it be a good idea to somehow make fake files for 
each of the DLLs in the folder, so that applications can actually see that 
there's something there if they're that fussy?
