The problem was DirectX9 related and nothing to do with vcredist.msi

The installer is looking for DXSetup.exe in the wrong place and cannot find it.
Since installing this patch has worked for others (and indeed has worked for me
once on a previous wine directory) I guess if things are set up correctly this
isn't a fault with the patch.

Work-around:
empty the windows/temp folder. Start the patch. Once installer is initialised
(don't start the install) go to a terminal and back to windows/temp directory.
You will see two folders with random names. One contains a folder Disk1
containing the extracted files setup files for the patch and another contains
some the directory {32E4F0D2-C135-475E-A841-1D59A0D22989} with some
installation files (including DXSetup.exe). cd to Disk1 folder and link the
previous folder:

cd ~/.wine/windows/temp/
cd \{7755C1F9-76C8-458F-976C-5BD4B0BA886C\}/Disk1
ln -s
../../\{596BAEFF-FBDB-4FD7-8491-4C235C0FC5E4\}/\{32E4F0D2-C135-475E-A841-1D59A0D22989\}
DirectX9

When the patch closes most of the temporary data will be lost so it's important
to do this while the installer is running. Continue with installation as usual.
One still needs the dll overrides listed in numerous other threads.
