A .DLL file Dynamic Link Library is a file of code containing functions that can be called from other executable code, either another .DLL or an application. Many older Windows games (especially Windows 3.1/95) use back-then common .DLL files that were installed as standard part of Windows. These files of course don’t exist on newer Windows 98 or above systems. To find the missing .DLL, just look for it on The DLL World, the largest .DLL archive on the WWW. Copy the file to both your C:\WINDOWS and C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM and run the game. WING library means the common WING.DLL or WING32.DLL files that are needed to run many Windows 3.1 games. You can download it here (as well as the archive above). Just unzip the file into your C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory before running the game.
