Your idea is to not check for missing dlls and instead just run the 
executable as a way to check that all the required dlls are present?

The problem is that if a dll is missing the executable remains stuck 
while Windows displays a dialog saying the dll is missing. Also, killing 
the process does not dismiss the windows dialog.

Maybe we could take a page out of the shlexec test and wait for the 
executable for 5 seconds and do a FindWindowA("#32770", "Windows") to 
click on the OK ourselves.

But I believe on Windows 8+ we had problems due to Windows popping up a 
window offering to install the missing dll but we could not intercept 
that one. That said the dlls would be installed on machines that run 
WineTest regularly anyway.
