... in the process of backtracking where this broke again after wine-1.5.15 (to
get a fix on where to look for the actual regression..if any), I discovered a
couple of things...

... going backwards from wine-current, @ wine-1.5.18 or such, the helper
program 'winOSext.exe' started hoisting an error message about it's requirement
for .NET 4.0 .. (?).. indeed, the gamefly installer exe now actually bundles
'dotNetFx40_Full_setup.exe' (which is the web-installer version), but that part
of the installation never fires and/or quietly fails...

... creating a wineprefix & preparing that by adding .net4 to it prior to
running the gamefly installer, doesn't change the situation... ie; .net4 is
there but the client still fails to install any game it downloads. There are
two helper apps the gamefly client calls to - 'winOSext.exe' and
'GameflyGameInstallManager.exe' -- although I hit the 'install game' widget 3
times in the +file log, it never seems as though GameflyGameInstallManager.exe
ever gets called at all ... the other helper app is seen to be accessed ...

... these observations make me wonder whether or not it *should* still work in
wine-1.5.15, but it does still work there and then without any .net4 being
involved. In any event, I've no idea what debug channels to poke at, as most
all I've tried thus far return very little chatter at all. I should also
mention that I believe previous versions of the gamefly client *didn't* bundle
the .net4 installer, and this could very much be as much to do with changes to
the gamefly client itself, as it has to do with changes to wine...if anyone has
an idea on where/what I should look at, let me know...
