--- Comment #4 from Anastasius Focht  ---
Hello folks,

same as Austin's comment .. the initial problem about 'The entry point method
could not be loaded' is not present hence the bug likely evolved.

Prerequisites:

'winetricks -q dotnet35sp1' in clean 32-bit WINEPREFIX

The installer requests at least 'Windows Vista' setting which causes the inner
WPF based installer 'wdsetup.exe' to fail.

Likely related to 'dwmapi' stubs/insufficiencies.
Hard to tell where to begin ...

The managed backtrace is misleading, it will error out this way in many error
cases.

The inner installer can be run in 'Windows XP' mode which succeeds (after
working around already known font/windowscodecs -> WPF issues).
