Installing huffyuv under wine on linux

So that I don't ever have to figure this out again:

using:

• Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
• WineTricks

steps:

• Downloaded and unzipped 32-bit virtualdub.
• Downloaded 32-bit huffyuv from here .

From within the winetricks environment, run regedit and import (or manually add) this entry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32]"VIDC.HFYU"="huffyuv.dll"

Copy the huffyuv.dll from the downloaded zip file to c:\windows\syswow64\ from within wine. (you can launch task manager, then run cmd to do this)

For my own future reference, here is my solution.
