Hello,

the  Visual Studio 2010 installer tries to install "Microsoft Windows Installer
4.5 Update (x86)".

Installer prerequisite checks log:

The update installer fails in the end due to bug 6194 (considered not
critical).

It might be useful to have Wine msi dll version resource updated to
4.5.6001.22299 to prevent installation in first place.
