According to the AppDB entry, Visual C++ 2012 currently can't be installed in Wine because of bug 17273.
It will of course be supported once all the bugs are taken care of (I suppose).
Still, some games that want to install vcredist 2012 work fine without it (At least I tried APB Reloaded and it works, even if the vcredist 2012 install hangs due to the bug).
So my advice is: Try your app and if the vcredist 2012 installer hangs, kill it, then see if your app works.

The application works, but some of the functions that require VC redist 2012, do not work.
