Sample terminal output from a prefix set to Windows 7 mode

I am not sure if this will be considered a valid bug report but GOG Galaxy has
issues when attempting to start it on any version of Windows besides XP. 

The issue here is manifold: 

1. Windows-only games that are 64-bit only with no 32-bit version are becoming
more and more common. This makes it impossible for users to use certain online
features within the game such as uploading discoveries because the online
portion requires GOG Galaxy to be present and running.

2. The 64-bit version of Windows XP has never received Service Pack 3 and GOG
Galaxy requires, at minimum, Windows XP SP3. 

Here's one scenario I have tried to make Galaxy run in a 64-bit Windows 7
install: 

1. Run winetricks vcrun2010 vcrun2012 vcrun2013 in Windows 7 mode.
2. Switch the prefix to Windows XP mode then run winetricks vcrun2015 to get
around the issue with Windows 7 mode and the lack of a working Windows Upgrade
Service in the non-Staging version of Wine.
3. Install GOG Galaxy afterwards in Windows 7 mode.
4. Attempt to run "wine GalaxyClient.exe"

I am not sure if this issue is caused by running "winetricks vcrun2015" in
Windows XP mode and then switching to Windows 7 mode as I've used this
workaround to work around VC2015 issues with UE4 games that require Windows 7
and above in order to run. 

I have tried starting GOG Galaxy with and without "winetricks vcrun2010
vcrun2012 vcrun2013" ("winetricks vcrun2015" is always needed for now so very
attempt at me running GOG Galaxy will have this winetrick performed). I have
also attempted to run Galaxy in Vista, 8, 8.1 modes and nothing works. 

Is there anything I am missing and is there anything I can do to help get it
running in a 64-bot prefix?
