Visual Studio 2005 installation finally works with WINE

[Adam Strzelecki]

Hi,

I just want to mention that I've managed to install Visual Studio 2005  
completely with WINE.

1) installed "vcrun6" (with winetricks)
2) applied 1 patch from http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8439#c3
(Required for overall installation)
3) applied patched from http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=3754
(Required for .NET 2.0 installation)
4) applied "msi: ACTION_RegisterProduct store all InstallProperties"  
match from patches list I just sent
(Without this patch Visual Studio 2005 will think that MS XML 6.0 and  
some others is still uninstalled!)

Installation goes without problem, however running "devenv.exe" causes  
several problems with .NET 2.0 packages and crashes a lot :( too bad.  
Most crashes and errors are because of few missing WINE API functions,  
and incomplete .NET 2.0 support.
Still I think WINE's close to run Visual Studio! which will be great  
news for multi-platform developers.

See attached screenshots from my MacBook Pro running OSX 10.5.2.

Cheers,
