Run winecfg, add your .exe to the list on the first tab, select it, switchto "DLL overrides" tab, add needed dlls there and set them to "Native,Builtin" order. But if you just set all dlls that program use to "native,Builtin", it will most probably not work. Windows dlls, especially "core"ones will almost surely crash in Wine. Wine is compatible (to some degree)with Windows on the external, "visible" API, but it do the internalsdifferently (no Wine developers are actually know how Windows do theseinternals - it would be copyright violation that'd make the whole Wineproject vulnerable to legal threats). Applications use that API and work. Onthe contrary, "core" Windows DLLs rely exactly on those hidden andundocumented internals and copying those DLLs from Windows will often domore harm than good.
You should by all means use winetricks to install needed dlls, and try tocopy dlls from Windows manually only as the last resort. And you should notcopy all dlls, only those that not present in Wine or don't work properly,one at a time. It may be tricky to determine, which ones are not working,yes.
Also, you should note that to maximize your chances, you should installeverything to the clean prefix (just rename your current ~/.wine directoryand run winecfg - it will create a shiny new prefix for you).
