But if you really do want Visual C++ Express, you shouldn't be installing anything before installing it--winetricks takes care of everything it needs to install. Make sure you have the latest winetricks; it should be 20120308 (type winetricks --version).


[Embarassed] I feel stupid now. I mistook them to be the same thing. Again, super noob mistake. Sorry, but do you know if you can install runtime through winetricks? Whenever I get it off Microsoft.com and run it through wine, a window asking for my agreement to the terms of use, then a loading bar appears for a spit second, and disappears. I tried the above user's solution several times, but it never worked.
