I just found it in one of the other threads. You are right though, it's an extra file that shouldn't be there, even though the message indicates missing or outdated files. DSETUP.DLL has to be removed after install (it's a duplicate copy that seems to be installed by mistake).
Just to get everything in one place (assuming you start with a current distro version of Wine that's already capable of running Everquest) ...
- Install a complete copy of EQ Titanium (I combined all my CDs onto one DVD iso for convenience, just copy the whole first disk and the cab file from the rest - then just okay the duplicate prompt for disc 1 at the end)
- Remove DSETUP.DLL from the root of the install directory
- Apply the current standalone patch from the latest patch thread (currently v27 - not neccessarily the top one in the forums though, so look close)
- Edit eqhost.txt to set the host to "eqemulator.net:5998"
- Start the client, exit at the character select screen
- Edit eqclient.ini and change vertexshaders to false (fixes the player models)
- Restart the client
