On my system there's a file WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3-x86-ENU.exe in /home/kshitiz/.PlayOnLinux/ressources



Why does Wine need this file? If it needs it for emulation, how is it that it is able to emulate Windows XP without downloading the XP setup?



And I don't see the extracted contents of that file. How is it being used?

I was just wondering the same, and like is the case with open software, a look at the source provides the answer. Winetricks uses that Service Pack file to extract a couple of DLLs, namely



esent.dll (MS Extensible Storage Engine)

gdiplus.dll (MS GDI+)

mf.dll (MS Media Foundation)

msftedit.dll (Microsoft RichEdit Control)
