I’m wanting to run a game’s application that will allow me to avoid a 16 bit installer, however, I get the error that WING32.DLL cannot be found and to reinstall. When opening in my XP VM I copied it from c:\windows\system to C:\windows\system32 and the game opened just like that. So, I know this is the fix I need. However, with not being able to find any WING32.DLL within Windows 10 I’m wanting to know if there are any risks to either copying the file from XP to my Windows 10 system since I know it’s legit (or any other safe legit download site?) or hoping the game files have one I can copy into system32. I know I don’t have malware and my drivers are up to date (file missing before any updates as well) and I’m not doing a clean install for what must just be a missed file during installation. Messing around in system settings makes me nervous so I was just wanting to make sure copying that missing WING32.DLL into system32 won’t negatively impact my OS somehow. Thanks so much in advance.
