There was an update to the VC2005Redist that seems to be causing headaches on both sides of the fence.

You might need to make a new clean .wine prefix for it(version 8.0.50727.4053) to install correctly , at least I had to which is always fun. This is a requirement of Bioshock 2 to launch , so if you're trying to get Bio2 to play nice you'll need this vc 2005 redist version. I haven't tested it yet since I don't feel like installing the game for the 3rd time atm. :)
