I think James is a bit confused; there no reason we can't run Visual Studio or the apps it produces, as long as we fix enough bugs. But the original poster is confused, too. It doesn't matter whether the app is built with Visual Studio. It matters more what ABI the app is written to or compiled to run against. Your test app is a Managed C++ app. Switch to non-managed, or native, and you'll have better luck. Also, your test app is compiled for debugging, which means you need debugging libraries like msvcm80d.dll, which are only shipped with Visual Studio; winetricks doesn't have a way to install them. What are you really trying to do?
