I got MFC42.DLL from my windows partition and just copied it to the
system folder inside your .wine folder. Thanks for telling me about
wincfg. I was able to make wine and savihost to use jack as output but
now under midi devices, in savihost, I get no input device listed and
one output. Also after some using it some time it became unstable...
