                    0x42a3a7 when trying to install vcrun2015
           Product: Wine-staging

Many applications need VCRUNTIME140.dll and naturally I looked up over
winetricks to install what was necessary. However, I noticed that every time I
try to do that, even when I manually download the executable and run straight
through wine and not winetricks, it gives that error. Last time I checked, that
error is characteristic of a regression.

The program in question that is asking for that DLL is a game, The Sims 4 to be
more precise. It never asked for that before, probably because it was such an
old prefix. Now I nuked it to start from scratch because the previous prefix
was giving errors. Turned out not to be the cause. Then I reinstalled Wine.
Didn't solve the problem. Then I tried standard wine instead of wine staging.
Also didn't work. I nuked the binaries and did a reinstall. Now wine is working
again but now it keeps asking for that DLL that I can't install because Wine is
giving that error.

Winetricks tried installing the 32bit package. I tried to manually install the
64bit one. Both gave the same error. Unhandled exception code c0000005 flags 0

It seems you are running with an older winetricks version.
See: https://github.com/Winetricks/winetricks/issues/1736

To confirm, what output does `winetricks --version` give?

I'm setting this issue as Resolved beucase Wine Staging updated and seem to
have solved this issue. I can install vc_redist normally and the problem with
Sims 4 was solved. I don't know what was the version of winetricks at the time
but right now, the command outputs 20210206 - sha256sum:
