Hello Austin,
you have to re-run 'winecfg', change selection, select "Windows XP" again and hit 'apply' to force update of registry with new values. Otherwise processes still get the initial (default) registry values at the time the prefix was created (wine.inf -> "VersionInfo" section).
I was using a clean WINEPREFIX, originally. I also tried: $ wine64 uninstaller # remove mono $ wine64 winecfg # select 2003, apply $ wineserver -w $ wine64 winecfg # select XP, apply $ wineserver -w $ wine64 NetFX.exe
it fails the same way (with Hans's patch).
