It would appear that a deeper fix would be needed anyway, since while it is possible to yank the .dlls themselves out of the vcredist installer*, and thereby avoid the Wine errors concerning Apartment Threading when trying to install normally, the .dlls either need extra registering during the install process, or Wine has a problem with them regardless of the installer and needs fixing (which is also likely). Trying to use them with AviSynth+ and ffmpeg resulted in ffmpeg crashing with a C++ exception of some sort.

Granted, I was testing with Visual Studio 2013 builds and the corresponding vcredist, but I'm sure the same things apply for 2012 (or maybe they don't and for 2012 this would actually work; I don't know).

*Methodology ('dark' is dark.exe from the WiX Toolset):

Code:

dark vcredist2013.exe -x outputpath
go into vcRuntimeMinimum_x86 and use cabextract or 7-zip on the cab files; the MFC stuff is in vcRuntimeAdditional_x86
rename the F_CENTRAL files to .dll with the proper names (trim off the F_CENTRAL prefix and arch suffix, add .dll extension)
copy dlls to Wine's windows/system32 directory.
