[Bug 24022] New: NVShaderPerf fails to find plugins/performance modules (and therefore to start)

Summary: NVShaderPerf fails to find plugins/performance modules
                    (and therefore to start)
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.3.0
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: msxml3
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

NVShaderPerf is an NVidia tool that runs on the console, and that is sadly
available only on Windows.

I've successfully used nvdxt (another, similar tool by nVidia) with wine 1.3.0,
and it runs perfectly fine.

But NVShaderPerf seems to require XML parsing in a way wine does not support
(or at least that seems to be the case according to console output).

Installation goes without a hitch, and after defining a comfy alias on my
.bashrc, I get the following attempting to even show the help:

username@host:~> nvshaderperf -v 2
fixme:msxml:internal_putProperty
(0x145778)->(L"http://xml.org/sax/properties/lexical-handler"): semi-stub
fixme:msxml:saxxmlreader_QueryInterface interface

No performance DLLs found, please reinstall
No performance plugins found, please reinstall NVShaderPerf

I checked the plugins.xml, and it's utf-16 encoded with a BOM mark. If it's
indeed an xml issue (something I can't confirm with the limited info I have at
hand), it must be an encoding thing (either being utf-16 or having a BOM),
because the xml's contents are rather simple:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>
<plugins>
    <!-- Performance analysis plugins -->
    <plugin progid="nvsys.NVPerf3X.1"/>
    <plugin progid="nvsys.NVVertPerf3X.1"/>
    <plugin progid="nvsys.NVPerf4X.1"/>
    <plugin progid="nvsys.NVVertPerf4X.1"/>

</plugins>
