Install wing32.dll on Vista Home Premuim 64-bit

How old are we talking here?
wing32.dll has long been replaced by Direct X so we must be talking 10 years old or so yes?

It may be possible for you to run the application in Compatibility mode for Windows 9x depends on the game really. They werent designed back in the day to run in Vista

What games are you having trouble with?

Ok this is slightly beyond me but i found an interesting link:

I know this is for a .com instead but it appears that your wing32.dll requires another file to allow it to be installed. It gives a method to find out what is missing.

Its going to be one, or many of these:
cmd.exe, ntvdm.exe, wing32.dll, wjview.exe, dxtmsft.dll, d3d8.dll, d3d8thk.dll, d3d9.dll, d3dim700.dll, d3dxof.dll, ddraw.dll, ddrawex.dll, devenum.dll, dinput.dll, dinput8.dll, dplay.dll, dplayx.dll, dsound.dll, glu32.dll, ksuser.dll, opengl32.dll, quartz.dll.

These are all "related" files. Dont know how some are related yet

Sorry i cant be of further help, but I'm interested to know the soluton if you can post up should you find a way.

to pr2thej !

Thanks for the advice - I downloaded a utility from http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us [...] fault.aspx called ProcessMon (for vista) and while trying to register the wing32.dll, windows was looking in the c:\windows\sysWOW64\ directory for the same file. So i copied the wing32.dll to there, and the games now work!

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
