For the online - installer you need vcrun 2005, 2008 and 2010 from winetricks.

Works though.

Yeah I did an offline install too, but apparently the files got corrupt somewhere during the download. (or some error is preventing the installer from getting correct hash sums.) The repair.exe complained that it could not find python27.dll and my fix was:

sh winetricks vcrun2008

Funny thing is, I could not find the hash sums. Anyone know where the md5 or sha1 sums for the payload files are?

Payload files are 7zip archives and checksum is within them somewhere, but I don't know which hash algorithm is used by 7zip. With p7zip package installed do:

7za t nameofthepackage.7z

And that is enough (if 7za is somewhere in path). Not only hash will be checked, but 7zip will decompress files to /dev/null too.
