--- Comment #7 from Louis Lenders  ---
Here`s my five cents of giving it a try:

- Got the same result as Roman from comment #0 after applying his patch.

-After some search for this error on Google I found this thread with no
solution, but some interesting start options.
Particulary 'wine devenv.exe /resetsettings' makes the GUI come up, but then it
hangs (irresponsive GUI) with :

0024:err:sync:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0097022C "?" wait timed out in
thread 0024, blocked by 013c, retrying (60 sec
)

I was able to trace this back to:
013c:trace:ole:CoWaitForMultipleHandles 0, 0xffffffff, 1, 0220CDF4, 1010EC78
0024:trace:ole:CoGetContextToken context_token 021D47A0
013c:trace:ole:CoWaitForMultipleHandles Waiting for rpc completion

With a dumb hack like in the end of the post, the GUI actually starts, I can
quickly click a few things so it`s responsive, but then after a second or three
or five the Sign-In window comes up and blocks the application. It says my
licence is expired and Sign-up gives me blank window (mshtml insufficiencies I
guess). 
Does anyone know if there`s a trial mode, and how to enable it?

For now it would be interesting:
- Find out what difference there is in 'devenv.exe' and 'devenv.exe
/resetsettings'
- Why that ':CoWaitForMultipleHandles Waiting for rpc completion' never ends.
-If the same command on Windows gives the same behaviour (sign-up window which
says licence expired)

- I also noticed that the application tries to execute getmac.exe, which is
missing from wine, but I don`t know if that`s related to any bug
