           Summary: MFC42.DLL is not part of wine even though required by
                    many programs
           Product: Wine
           Version: CVS
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-binary
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: ergzay at everyoneproductions.com


I have noticed that MFC42.dll is not included with wine. I use the MFC42.dll
from Windows 98 SE. I placed it in ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system/. This works
and the below errors don't happen with it installed there, but this shouldn't
happen in the first place if wine truely aims to replace windows. I looked
through the other similar bug that was marked as WONTFIX but it was also
mentioned that MFC42.dll is freely distributable. If that is so why isn't it
included in wine. Here is the output of two programs requiring this that do not run.

err:module:import_dll Library MFC42.DLL (which is needed by L"C:\\Program
Files\\Gravity\\RO\\Ragnarok.exe") not found
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\\Program
Files\\Gravity\\RO\\Ragnarok.exe" failed, status c0000135

err:module:import_dll Library MFC42.DLL (which is needed by L"D:\\Program
Files\\GravityWell\\GravityWell.exe") not found
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"D:\\Program
Files\\GravityWell\\GravityWell.exe" failed, status c0000135
