How to fix Wine MCF42.DLL error on Lucid?

  • 772

I'm trying to run Visual Boy Advance and when I use the command

wine VisualBoyAdvance

I get the following error:

err:module:import_dll Library MFC42.DLL (which is needed by L"Z:\\home\\zack\\Desktop\\VBA\\VisualBoyAdvance.exe") not found 
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"Z:\\home\\zack\\Desktop\\VBA\\VisualBoyAdvance.exe" failed, status c0000135

and I don't have a clue on how to fix this.

  1. While you can install the missing dll using winetricks and use the windows version of Visual Boy Advance, there is in fact a native linux version in Ubuntus repositories, which I recommend to use instead of the exe file.

    To install it, open the terminal application and enter this command:

    sudo apt-get install visualboyadvance visualboyadvance-gtk

    It should be listen in the applications menu after that.
