So WineTest is not running the vcomp tests. What happens is this:
* It parses the vcomp_test.exe filename and concludes that this tests the vcomp dll.
* It does a LoadLibraryExA("vcomp.dll", NULL, LOAD_LIBRARY_AS_DATAFILE) which fails (as expected) and concludes that the dll is missing:
vcomp=dll is missing
* Since the dll is missing WineTest skips the vcomp tests.
According to Dan Kegel this is a manifest / activation context issue and he sent a patch for it [1]. However the patch was for the TestBot [2], not WineTest, and as far as I can tell it's not working.
Furthermore WineTest already has activation context code that seems equivalent to Dan Kegel's patch.
Does anyone know how to fix WineTest?

[2] Paradoxically the TestBot has no problem running the vcomp tests now that they dynamically load the vcomp dll. That's because the TestBot makes no assumption based on the executable filename since one can upload test binaries that don't follow any naming scheme. So now the test dynamically loads vcomp.dll the TestBot cannot check for it.
