Hello,

thanks Stefan, it seems adding following key is enough to allow IE8 installer
for Vista to continue:

--- snip ---
$ wine reg add "HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Component
Based Servicing\\Version" /v 6.1.7601.17592 /t REG_SZ /d "foo" /f
--- snip ---

As already mentioned, the main problem is Wine missing "wusa" tool/MSU file
support:

Windows Vista uses Package Manager (Pkgmgr.exe) and Windows Update Standalone
Installer (Wusa.exe) to install software updates and hotfixes.

This is probably hard to implement and likely a waste of time because these
installer technologies change/obsolete with every Windows version (Windows 7
uses "dism") :|

IMHO a WONTFIX.

If you need IE8, use the Windows XP MSI package (or winetricks).

Regards
