basic Wine question, how to get SoulSeek to run?

I've emerged wine (version 20040408) and can run stuff like:

>wine notepad.exe

but when I try to run Soulseek all I get is a windows messagebox telling me:
"SoulSeek's installation is corrupt or missing. Please reinstall SoulSeek."

It works perfectly under Windows. On Wines homepage it's written:
"Works flawless under wine, after a number of native dll's are applied. "

What does that mean and how do I do it?

That means that you should copy certain dlls (don't know which ones) from a windows installation into your ~/.wine/fake_windows/Windows/System dir and then make a section in your ~/.wine/config for the app that says which dlls you want to run native versions of (there are examples in the config file for doing this).

You can always emerge nicotine, it's a soulseek client.

Also consider pySoulseek. It seems to work better than nicotine for me.
