Hello folks,

re-christening the bug to target Vista MSI component upgrade issue (otherwise
this bug pretty pointless since OP decided to create another bug 37590).

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37590#c6

The prefix 'restart' issue happens because OP decided to change default Windows
version of the WINEPREFIX to 'Windows Vista'.

--- snip ---
[11/19/14,22:00:35] Begin Depcheck Component session:
gencomp23,{61040379-156d-4ece-b126-ea395a3b2ac7}
[11/19/14,22:00:35]     This component uses the FileVersionCheck version check
method. It will compare a given version against the version of a file on your
machine.
[11/19/14,22:00:35]     The file to be verified is C:\windows\system32\msi.dll.
[11/19/14,22:00:35]     Version on user's machine:    4.5.6001.22299
[11/19/14,22:00:35]     Version to be installed:    4.5.6001.22308
[11/19/14,22:00:35] This component is told to not ignore newer versions.
[11/19/14,22:00:35] End. Component is NOT installed
--- snip ---

This can't work/succeed even after simulated reboot since the component upgrade
is in Vista+ .MSU format which Wine doesn't support at all if ever (bug 26757).

To avoid the prefix restart, MSI resource version has to be bumped which Hans
sent in a patch for: https://source.winehq.org/patches/data/107900
