Might be under vcrun2008 or vcrun6...I always get those mixed up. I
always mean to make a wiki page with the various dlls and which
winetricks script will retrieve it, but haven't had time/motivation.

If that doesn't work, try:
$ mv ~/.wine ~/.wine.old
$ wineprefixcreate
$ winecfg # set to winxp
$ wine iexplore.exe http://www.google.com/
$ sh winetricks vcrun2005
$ wine setup.exe

Just to try seeing if installing the c runtime library first helps.
