Bug ID: 39360
           Summary: Arvoch Alliance demo stops loading: 'File error:
                    aster.x' (needs native msvcr71.dll)
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.7.51

Created attachment 52458
  --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=52458
plain terminal output

Prerequisite to start the demo: native dinput8.dll (bug #21403).

The game loads to a screen where you can register the game or start the demo.
If you choose to start the demo, the game begins to load but it soon stops with
the error message: 'File error: aster.x'.

The game comes bundled with it's own msvcp71,msvcr71 libraries, setting msvcr71
to native,builtin lets the game get further... and it shows a different error
message: 'Runtime error 2002 - could not load animation'. 
This is unrelated to the reported problem (installing WMP10, native devenum and
quartz eventually makes the game happy).
Let this bug be about why Wine can't find this 'aster.x' with built-in msvcr71.

--- Comment #1 from Piotr Caban  ---
This is caused by incorrect implementation of mbscoll and mbsicoll. Native
returns difference between characters that are different, wine returns -1, 0 or
1. Application is doing a search that depends on this behavior.

(I didn't verify yet if it's the only issue).

It displays the same error with builtin and native dlls now. Marking as fixed.
