I am trying to run a game called Path of Exile on ubuntu (version 14.04 LTS). It recently got patched and requires some executable called "VC_redist.x86.exe". I downloaded it from the microsoft website, but whenever I attempt to run it through Wine I get the following output error:
CabooseDog@alanine:~/Downloads$ wine vcredist_x86.exe

My wine --version shows 1.6.2, but I ran the commands required to update it to version 1.9. I have seen suggestions to run the command "bash winetricks vcrun2010" in order to install Microsoft Visual Studio. That worked but didn't solve the problem.
If anyone has any idea or needs any more information, please let me know. Also, if anyone has a solution, please provide detailed instructions, I don't have much experience with Wine
