Install MS's version of msvcr90.dll instead of Wine's?

Known bugs
Bug # Description Status Resolution Other apps affected
29045 Kindle for PC crashes opening books if Times New Roman and Courier New are not installed NEW View

 
HOWTO

To work around the msvcp90 bugs, delete or rename ­this file: 

~/.wine/drive_c/windows/winsxs/manifests/x86_microsoft.vc90.crt_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_9.0.30729.4148_none_deadbeef.manifest

Note that Wine will recreate that file every time you upgrade. To avoid this, make the directory read-only.  ­
To work around bug 29045, install Times New Roman and Courier New, either systemwide or with winetricks.
