Where to get and place .dll files required for installation of various programs?

For instance, Crossover says everything is installed but nothing installed. Windows installer never pops up after trying installation. Lets say switching to a different bottle (xp instead of 7 or 7 instead of xp) doesn't help.

In this case, also, for instance, vcrun6 is probably needed, namely, the mfc42.dll. This can be obtained by using winetricks; but that requires installing Wine seperately. Which is pointless if you have crossover already installed.

How do users get .dll files required? And were must these be placed in Crossover?

Very often CrossOver has such library installations available as dependencies. Look at the at the list of software in the software installation dialog.

More specifically in the "Runtime Support Components" of the Crossover installer.

If you insist to place something manually, in /home/some_user/.cxoffice/your_bottle/drive_c/windwows/system32. But avoid doing that as dlls available out there can contain some bad crap. It is better to install a full library stack from the support components than risk putting windows malware on your linux box.

It is possible to to run winetricks in crossover.
Example Code
[Mac]

WINEPREFIX="/Library/Application Support/Crossover Games/Bottles/NewBottle" winetricks riched20

[linux]

WINEPREFIX=~/.cxgames/NewBottle winetricks riched20
