I just want to mention that I've managed to install Visual Studio 2005
completely with latest WINE trunk.

1) installed "vcrun6" (with winetricks)
2) applied 1 patch from http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8439#c3
(Required for overall installation)
3) applied patched from http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=3754
(Required for .NET 2.0 installation)
4) applied "fix for MSI ACTION_RegisterProduct to store all properties also in
InstallProperties registry key" 
(Without this patch Visual Studio 2005 will think that MS XML 6.0 and some
others is still uninstalled!)

NOTE: "patch which fixes MSI_GetProductInfo to treat specific properties with
correct type" is no longer needed with latest trunk.

Installation goes without problem, however running "devenv.exe" causes several
problems with .NET 2.0 packages and crashes a lot :( too bad. Most crashes and
errors are because of few missing WINE API functions, and incomplete .NET 2.0
support.
Still I think WINE's close to run Visual Studio! which will be great news for
multi-platform developers.

I'm attaching screenshots :)
