"It's dlls/advapi32/service.c who uses it, and since Wine installs and runs its own services (mountmgr and spool) by default now, DCOM9x is no more compatible with Wine. (And actually that's the reason why ies4linux and similar wrappers installing DCOM9x are broken under Wine since some time)." So DCOM98 may not work? Susan
