vcrun2008 refusing to install

Hey guys.

In trying to make Skyrim work, I've deleted wine, steam, and everything to try and start fresh.
Now no matter what I do, vcrun2008 refuses to install. I had already installed it once successfully before, but still Skyrim wasn't working (no sound, generally buggy) and now when I try to install vcrun2008 via winetricks I'm getting:

(After a hole bunch of miscellaneous stuff)

err:ole:COMPOBJ_DllList_Add couldn't load in-process dll L"C:\\windows\\system32\\msxml3.dll"
err:ole:CoGetClassObject no class object {f6d90f11-9c73-11d3-b32e-00c04f990bb4} could be created for context 0x1

Note: command 'wine vcredist_x86.exe' returned status 67. Aborting

I'm simply getting frustrated when I've done everything every guide has said, and nothing has worked. I just want to kill dragons already.

Winetricks vcrun2008 installs fine here in 1.3.34. Make sure you have the latest winetricks and a clean wineprefix.

Beyond that, report bugs in winetricks at http://winetricks.org/.

Okay, I've gone as far back as I possibly can. Completely nuked wine, winetricks, .wine, ~/.cache/winetricks, and reinstalled everything. Ran a winecfg. This is as fresh as it _could_ be, and yet "winetricks vcrun2008" still fails.

I'm using wine-1.3.34 and winetricks-20111115.

Even better, the installer is giving me the following handy message:
"The following error occurred during setup:
Installation failed."

WHAT could be going on here?

Do what dimesio told you to do, report this to the winetricks folks.
