dcom95.exe - how to install?

I've been trying to use WordPerfect with wine, but when installing it fails on the dcom95.exe file, stating that it will only run on win95. Search of forum has turned up threads stating only that dcom95.exe must be installed for the install shields of some programs to work, but how do I install it? I get the same error whether installing WordPerfect or just the dcom95.exe file using wine.

you can download dcom95 and 98 here:

dcom98 is the preferred one, it has better functionality.

they both should install fine under recent versions of wine.

Instructions on how to install it are here:

Thanks, I've successfully installed dcom98.exe (dcom95 will simply not install). I am still having trouble when WordPerfect tries to copy regsvr32.exe, but now I am not getting the dcom error message as well. But I've found some threads regarding this issue, and hopefully I can get it resolved.
