[CS-FSLUG] Installing e-Sword <-- was --> Gnome and stuff

[Chad Fluegge]

Cia,

Some of the dll files get put in the windows/system32 folder, while some get
put in the
program files/e-sword folder. I usually put a copy of both into each folder,
that way
I know that I got the files where they're supposed to be.

Then, using the winecfg program, you have to setup an override on two of
those dll files:

riched20
riched32

Both need to be set to native.

To setup the override, you simply click on the Libraries tab in the Wine
configuration window.
Then scroll to the above dll files, click add.

Any other questions, don't hesitate to ask. :)

later,
Chad
