If I understand your diagnosis correctly, I should find files under $WINEPREFIX
that are read-only and if I change the permissions of these files to read/write
then I should be able to install my application.

There are no read-only files under $WINEPREFIX either before or after the
attempted installation and there are none created in C:\windows\temp during the
installation either.

However it does seem to be a problem overwriting existing files.  Installer
logs have the failed installation ending with the copy of
C:\windows\system32\mfc42.dll and log of from successful installation following
this with C:\windows\system32\msvcirt.dll.  Both of these files are extracted
from vcredist.dll as part of winetricks wsh56.

Although I can't be sure, this does not look like a difference between upper
and lower case filenames either. What other possibilities are there ?
