------- Additional Comments From dank@kegel.com 2007-28-04 10:41 ------- OK, thanks to many repeated tips from A.F., I now understand the workaround, and have implemented it in winetricks. Try wget http://kegel.com/winetricks sh winetricks vcrun2005 That should both install msvcr80 and make the registry change needed for that library to be found in the proper location instead of system32. This seems to get around that bad dialog box.
I see also that real sxs support patches are starting to be posted (http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2007-April/038672.html ) Once that series is complete and merged, I can remove this crufty workaround from winetricks.
