There`s a regression apparently as you already mentioned..
Could you set all dlls to builtin (in winecfg) and add debuglog so developers could have a look at it :
WINEDEBUG=+msvcrt wine name_of_app.exe &>log.txt (attach bzipped2 log.txt to bugreport)
Done, using wine 4.21 (pre-compiled from the Arch repo) on my x64 machine where I had not yet updated the vcredist_x86.exe
Hopefully that'll be helpful.
As an additional comment, I've subsequently run the Microsoft Visual C++ install using winetricks and the program (Acrobat.exe) now runs seemingly without an issue.
Thanks again for your help!
