It did ask me to accept the licence, and the only errors that I got
were the usual display ":1.0" errors:

Install of vcrun2005 done

Ah, wait, it installed msvcr80.dll this time! This time I used
vcrun2005 without the SP on a fresh .wine. That's the only difference,
so it seems that only without the SP it will install msvcr80, and that
only if I didn't run a differnt vcrun previously.

I'm now getting stuck on installing iexplorer.exe, the download keeps
hanging. Always at a different point, but always before 50%. I let it
run all night and it won't download. Once I get that straightened out
I'll report back.

Thanks for the help and the patience.
