It seems this error happens because _check_manifest fails. looking at this
function, it calls FindActCtxSectionStringW which seems to be unimplemented, right?
when this funcion is called, wine outputs this:
fixme:actctx:FindActCtxSectionStringW 00000000 (null) 2 L"msvcr80.dll" 0x327b8c
I didnt not try to understand the control flow very hard, but its likely this is
the reason to blame.

It seems this is the official MS way to get msvcr80.dll:
http://www.sweetpotatosoftware.com/files/vcredist_x86.zip
but this seems to fail to install in wine with:
wine vcredist_x86.exe 
fixme:advapi:DecryptFileA "C:\\windows\\temp\\IXP001.TMP\\" 00000000
wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x80002b8c at address 0x701069b2
(thread 003f), starting debugger...
So as a workaround you can try:
http://www.sweetpotatosoftware.com/files/microsoft.vc80.crt.zip
which includes the manifest file _check_manifest looks for.
i placed it inside windows/winsxs as should be expected
