--- Comment #12 from Anastasius Focht focht@gmx.net 2012-01-02 15:49:47 CST --- Hello,
--- quote --- but can't figure out which magic directory to create. I tried creating either "$WINEPREFIX/drive_c/users/Public/Application Data/Microsoft Help/{639159C2-B27B-4208-8965-D8A0AEDBDED2}" or "$WINEPREFIX/drive_c/users/Public/Application Data/Microsoft Help/{4A79114D-19E4-11d3-B86B-00C04F79F802}" but no joy. --- quote ---
As I already wrote earlier: it's the product code of the failing (sub)installer. In case of Visual Studio 2005 you need the product code for "Microsoft Document Explorer 2005".
A list of MS product codes can be found here:

--- snip --- {44D4AF75-6870-41F5-9181-662EA05507E1}," ""Microsoft Document Explorer 2005""", ENU, DEX, 57FA4D4407865F14191866E20A55701E --- snip ---
So the folder name needed is:
"$WINEPREFIX/drive_c/users/Public/Application Data/Microsoft Help/{44D4AF75-6870-41F5-9181-662EA05507E1}"
