--- Comment #1 from Anastasius Focht <focht at gmx.net> ---
Hello folks,

from the stack signatures/return addresses it looks like the game is trying to
install VC++ 2010 SP1.

The installer should load and parse an XML file at this point.
Since 'msxml3.dll' is not mapped in the crashing process address space, the COM
inproc server instantiation likely failed (progid: MSXML2.DOMDocument.3.0).

-> broken WINEPREFIX

Another reason for C++ exception would be a broken Wine installation, with
builtin 'msxml3.dll' present but 'libxml2' host prerequisite missing.
But that's not the case here as 'msxml3.dll' is not mapped at all.

Install Steam/game with a clean (new!) 32-bit WINEPREFIX.
If you don't know how to fix that, seek help in WineHQ user forums.
Bugzilla is not meant for end-user support.

NOTE: If you use a shared Steam prefix for multiple games do that at your own
risk!
Most people have no idea how Steam manages the prerequisites for each Steam app
and sooner or later destroy their prefix (sometimes with the "help" of
'winetricks' recipes). Don't report bugs resulting from such "installations".
