Hello, I am trying to run an app on Wine 20040615.  I get the message

**************************************************************************
You must copy a 'stdole32.tlb' file to your Windows\System directory!
You can get one from a Windows installation, or look for the DCOM95 package
on the Microsoft Download Pages.
**************************************************************************
fixme:ole:LoadTypeLibEx Wanted to load L"stdole32.tlb" as typelib, but 
file was not found.

I suspect that this is just the first of many messages that I am going 
to get about missing files.  My questions are:

1) What directory corresponds to the Windows\System directory?  I see 
/usr/lib/wine which has a bunch of .dll.so files in it, is that it?

2) What is the legality of copying a bunch of files from a real Windows 
machine (not that anybody should be proud of that) to a fake one?  Does 
this fall under the "fair use" exclusion from Copyright?

Many thanks,


Jeff
