no, it has not changed

no.  That's the point of the experiment, to check whether vcrun2005sp1 was the
important bit, and not the win2k part.

Yes, of course.  The question is, does the game install and run then?

Yeah, the game would probably install vcredist_x86 if we didn't
have our own msvcrt, or something.

Well, damn.  Guess you need both win2k and vcrun2005sp1, and
I do have to change winetricks after all.
