Thank you for the quick answer.

>affinity designer patches
Ok, then I will just try the aero patch.

>sky go app
The Sky Go App is for On-Demand-Pay-TV, I already created an entry in the wine
appdb:
https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=19670

Regarding my error; I only got a message that says that Windows Aero should be
enabled. 
I have not made a debug log yet.
But I suppose that the results will be (roughly) the same as the results in
Comment 9 (regarding sky ticket):
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44055#c9
Nonetheless I will add a log, when i try it again.

>aero/dwmapi patch
I am glad that i don't need to recompile full wine.
I assume that this guide
https://wiki.winehq.org/Winelib_User%27s_Guide#Building_Winelib_DLLs is
appropriate?
