Hello,

installer log file:

Maybe someone with Windows Vista can fire up regedit and look what kind of data
is there: "SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Component Based
Servicing\\Version"

This is the mentioned "KB937287" update:

The problem is the package is MSU file format which is a new package type for
Windows Vista (and above).
Wine msi doesn't support that stuff.

Maybe you can just get around by checking which registry key data are required
at minimum and extract that into winetricks recipe.

I doubt this is useful in official wine.inf
