Wine Tricks: No "MS Visual C 2005 Runtimes" (Warcraft 3)

Ok, so I am trying to get warcraft 3 to work. It installed fine, but then when I went to play the game, it said it couldn't find the cd (even though it is in) I head over to the wineHQ site ( http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p … n&iId=3126 ) and sure enough it says i will get the error unless I install: MS Visual C 2005 Runtimes with wine tricks.

So I download the winetricks, but I am looking down the list of programs you can install, and "MS Visual C 2005 Runtimes" is not on the list. There are some MS Visual C++ libraries, but those didn't help.

So either I am missing something that is obvious, or someone screwed up...

I installed everything that started with Microsoft Visual and it still doesn't work.

EDIT: I just went and downloaded the file from the M$ site:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta … 9c36f85647

I then did "wine vcredist_x86.exe". The error still occurs.

How about patching the game with the latest patch (1.22a) ?
One of the changes is that the cd is no longer required to play the game
