With current wine + patches i had to use native msxml6 and mshtml and friends to get up to the point where it starts installing thing.
Hmm, I never needed any native stuff except dotnet30 before, but apparently MS has changed the installer at least once.
The installer I've been testing for this bug: 741f7a49e55bc6ed3804bdc3a3c34964 wlsetup-webc.exe
And what I just got from a new download: 6d5d671bae57e8f9b82212b7424dbe8e wlsetup-web.exe
For me, with your patches applied, the former gets to the rolling back stage you mentioned without any native stuff except dotnet30 while the latter quickly crashes calling unimplemented function KERNEL32.dll.GetThreadUILanguage. Do you have yet another version of the installer?
