right, well -did replace that file and set the file rpcrt4.dll to 'native' .. now I get the following instead : err:service:service_control_dispatcher failed to open service manager error 1722 err:process:__wine_kernel_init boot event wait timed out -- so, with the 'real' dll it fails to start 'anything' - with the 'wine dll' it crashes .. maybe i am missing some other 'native' ones ? any clues / hints / pointers / etc. ? alex
