RIFT is the only reason I installed Wine so I haven't got anything else installed. I have been using the real Windows installation as a reference but not copying anything. You have to have an account to download the patch material which was the only reason I mentioned it. You suggest Winetricks, what should I do once I have it installed? Charles: I saw that option which was why I mentioned it. James: would this include the newer DLL?
