winetestbot question

[Stefan Leichter]

Hello,

i like to know why the WXPX64 VM of winetestbot does not have the 32 bit vc 
runtime 2008. The other 64 bit VMs have the runtime installed.

Because of the missing runtime each patch for the unit tests of the dlls 
msvcr90 and msvcp90 is marked as "Failed" at http://source.winehq.org/patches

That VM is Windows XP SP1 and apparently that runtime only gets 
installed with SP3.

The real problem is that because there's some weird manifest stuff 
going on, TestLauncher bungles things up:

* Bug 31609 - TestLauncher says a required DLL is missing, but the test 
  runs fine without TestLauncher

This won't be fixed in the old WineTestBot. And in the new WineTestBot 
the way to fix it is to fix this bug:

* Bug 33065 - Make it possible to build a winetest executable with a 
  single test
