Hello folks,

as the summary says...

Prerequisite: 'winetricks -q mfc42'

Nothing serious, it's just some scary looking console output.
Just 'knowing' the options and adding some FIXME should be ok for now.

Found with PowerDVD 10 trial installer.

Still valid 2.0rc3. Seems to be a lot more complicated to add than I thought.

Hello folks,

stable download link via Internet Archive:

https://web.archive.org/web/20200104140104/https://dl5.filehippo.com/1bf/b05...

Don't mind the strange URL. The additional parameters after the filename are
needed for the snapshot mechanism to cope with CDNs that use dynamically
generated links (act like a session cookie).
