           Summary: Wine needs more userfriendly message when certain dlls
                    are not registered/missing

an idea of how to generate more userfriendly message

This bug's intention is to enhance user friendlyness, and hopefully less
invalid bug reports, and more first time success experience for users.

Take for example app from http://www.whizlabs.com/download.php?prod=SCJP6.0.exe
(from some bug in bugzilla). The application fails with a run-time error, and
some , for newbies, cryptic ole errors. 

I think it would enhance wine's userfriendlyness a big deal, if we would just
put up a nice messagebox, with a message what the error means, and what should
be done.

I'll attach a (crappy) patch , just to give an idea how easy it would be to
give users more clues how to get around the "bug". 

Just apply patch , and run the app above, and user will know he has to install
wsh56.
