Bug ID: 52215
           Summary: MSTSC (Remote Desktop) 7.0 cannot find its MUI files
                    when Windows version is set to 7
           Product: Wine

Error. File not found. C:\windows\system32<LANG_NAME>\mstsc.exe.MUI

A workaround is to set the Windows version to XP but I don't like it because
Wine as far as I know doesn't allow to set a per application Windows version
and my default Windows version is set to 7.

strace shows that Wine doesn't even attempt to find MUI files as if some
resolution inside it breaks completely when Windows != XP.

Still present in wine-9.12.
To test just copy the folowing files from Win7 system32:
- mstsc.exe
- en-US/mstsc.exe.mui

Then it works on Win7, but not on Wine with version >= Vista

I think this is a dupe of bug 43670, Craigs patch fixes the issue. I think
that, since AFAIK MUI got introduced in Vista, it has a fallback logic for XP.
