LoadLibrary will fail but the msg box will be displayed.
just try:

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
        HMODULE hmod;

        hmod = LoadLibrary("cryptnet.dll");

        return 0;
}

then remove/rename crypt32.dll.so(which is imported by cryptnet.dll) and run

wine start.exe /unix test.exe

And the msg box will pop up.
