I remember trying to get a program installed on Windows. It complained that I didn't have the right VC redistributable. I had like ten of them installed — I think several from the same year! — cause every program usually bundles its own. I found the exact version of vcredist installer I needed but then that one refused to install because I already had a slightly newer version. So I had to uninstall that first. As far as I'm aware this problem still exists in Wine, I installed something in Wine yesterday and I had to use winetricks commands to get the vcredist installers from Microsoft's servers. (Also illegally download some fonts, otherwise my installer refused to start...)
