Bingo.  The app's installer puts msvc 2005
runtime libraries in the app's directories, which seems wrong.
Running the msvc 2005 runtime installer puts
the libraries into the right place, and the
bogus copies in the app directory are then ignored.

I think we can close this as 'invalid' now, given that
the installer seems to do the wrong thing, and
probably does the wrong thing on windows, too.

I guess I can update winetricks vcrun2005 to no
longer do the horrible kludge that was needed before
assemblies worked in wine.

Also, about rzip: rzip compression is awesome.
I started using it because it was the *only way* to
post some log files, which were far too large otherwise.
And it's way faster than bzip2.
I rather doubt it's hard for wine developers to use; 
in Ubuntu, you just do 'apt-get install rzip' and it's there.  
Why don't you like it?
