Hello,

the situation should have improved since Wine ships its own manifests for VC++
2005 and 2008 runtime.
(starting with commit
http://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/commitdiff/05ddaaf0686a0fcc10c9874a8d3abc9f35459f44
)

The initial problem here is essentially the same as explained in bug 25981
(incomplete assembly list for process default activation context due to missing
manifests). Yeah, name it: d-u-p-e.

The game installers that ship/install their own VC++ 2008 runtime should load
native dependencies like "msvcm90.dll" correctly now.

Retest your installers.
If one app/game really binds to this dll without shipping/installing VC++ 2008
runtime then this bug might be valid... otherwise this bug is just a "purist".

As Vincent mentioned: this is not easy due to mixed mode nature of the module
(bridging with .NET CLR).

Regards
