This is what Ge said

I dug a bit deeper and understand what's going on now. Winmm (in driver.c)
will try to load the low-level drivers using LoadLibrary. Thinstall
intercepts that LoadLibrary call and tries to locate the driver, e.g.
wineoss.drv, using the normal Windows search path for DLLs. We can't find
the file because its not stored in the "normal" places like
C:\Windows\System32 but in the build tree. So we fail the load and return
error code 2 (ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND). Wine's LoadLibrary knows where to
search in the build tree and would have no problem locating it.

Unfortunately, we can't just pass the call on the Windows (or rather Wine)
if we can't find a file. The reason we can't find a file might be that the
application has deleted it. When a virtualized app deletes a file, we don't
really delete the file but mark it internally as deleted. If we pass on a
LoadLibrary call to Windows on a file that doesn't exist as far as the app
is concerned, Windows would still happily load it (we only hide the file
from the app, not from Windows).

If I understand the issue correctly the problem is in Wine. The
application works on Windows no problem. The Thinstall LoadLibrary
hook can't be expected to know about builtin dlls if its searching the
default directories or looking up KnownDLLs in the registry and they
are not there, then failure is by design.
