           Summary: Repeat installation of vcredist_x86.exe (vcrun2005
                    associated DLLs) deletes them permanently from the
                    insxs folder
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.23
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: msi
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: pmacd at canada.com


If winetricks is used to install vcrun2005 or vcrun2005sp1 or if a windows
program installs the dlls and associated files by running vcredist_x86.exe, the
first time it is run, the dlls, manifest, policies and associated folders are
installed.

If the packages are installed again, the files and folders are permannetly
removed and cannot be recreated by running the installation again.
Reinstallation generates a number of msi errors.

This is a problem if installing several windows applications when more than one
of the applications run vcredist_x86.exe.
