Actually you don't want all of them. Certain of the WINE DLL's need to remain the WINE version or it won't work. Just add the Windows DLL's you need when you install an app that requires it.

Do a search on Google for "find Windows DLL" and you'll find many exhaustive lists.

Thank You guys very much that was hepful and i didnt even think of it like that. Your right Wine has its own DLLs so i might not need all of window DLLs i might only need 1 or 2 or something thx !!!:lolflag:

Just look in C:\WINDOWS\system32 for the dlls you currently have - AFIAK all dlls windows (and installed software) wants are stored there. Of course, there is no list of 'all' dlls because some 3rd-party software installs its own, and then you start getting into different concurrent and conflicting versions of the same dll (trust me - its messy).

But, as others have said, you should only grab the ones you need when you need them.

While on the subject of Windows DLLs for Wine.

If you find that a newly installed app fails to run, attempt a launch via the command line.

Doing it this way will provide visual feedback, (text) of any errors that are occurring including the names of any DLLs that are required.

Cheers.
