Turns out it doesn't: it's fairly random. It appears I have simply been unlucky
up until now. I have ran this installer around 20 times and it failed every
time. Now it seems to work every time.

This appears whether the installer completes successfully or not so is possibly
unrelated:
err:eventlog:ReportEventW L"Windows"
err:eventlog:ReportEventW L""
err:eventlog:ReportEventW L"Path not found.\r\n"

If an install fails and is run again, it claims that XPSEP is already
installed. dotnet30sp1 claims it isn't. A clean WINEPREFIX is necessary each
time.

This breaks yet another Winetricks verb: dotnet30sp1.

The dotnet30sp1 installer claims XPSEP is not installed even when the installer
claims it was successful. This could be yet another issue.

Going to run in a loop for a while to see what happens.
