Thanks. I found that I needed 4 dll's, and each one was in a different
place on that system. I used the Windows Search function to find them.
I put them all in ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32System32 and at
least I get a bit further.

I also get this popup:

So I copied msvcr80.dll to an identical file MSVCR80.dll, and then
copied both those files to the ~/.wine/drive_c/Program
Files/Sony/Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 8.0 directory. I still get the
same error.

Any ideas on where to proceed from here? Thanks for the patience with this.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
