The 2022 vcredist was skipped entirely because its native ucrtbase broke games like Dawn of War Definitive Edition, but games like Meccha Chameleon need the newer msvcp140 it ships. Queue it like every other year and, for any v140-family installer, write the winetricks vcrun2022 overrides into user.reg first: ucrtbase stays builtin, the v140 DLLs load native,builtin.

Winetricks vcrun2022 vcamp140 native,builtin DLL override
💡 Result:
<search_synthesis>
When using the vcrun2022 verb in Winetricks, the setting native,builtin for vcamp140 and related DLLs is a standard configuration intended to prioritize the native Microsoft-provided libraries over the Wine-builtin implementations, which often lack full functionality or compatibility for modern applications [1][2][3]. Under normal operation, the vcrun2022 verb automatically applies these overrides [4][5]. Specifically, the following DLLs are typically set to native,builtin to ensure the Visual C++ 2015-2022 runtime environment functions correctly: concrt140, msvcp140, msvcp140_1, msvcp140_2, msvcp140_atomic_wait, msvcp140_codecvt_ids, vcamp140, vccorlib140, vcomp140, and vcruntime140 [4][2][5]. Technical Context and Troubleshooting: 1. Purpose: The native,builtin override tells Wine to look for the native Windows DLL (the one installed by the vcrun2022 process) first; if it is not found, it falls back to the Wine-provided (builtin) version [6]. 2. Known Issues: Recent versions of Winetricks have faced challenges with the vcrun2022 verb, primarily due to changes in how Microsoft packages the redistributables (e.g., adding suffixes like _x86 or _amd64 to filenames) [7] and version conflicts where Wine's builtins have higher version numbers than the redistributable, causing installers to skip replacement [8][9]. 3. Workarounds: If your installation fails or games report missing DLLs despite running winetricks vcrun2022, ensure your Winetricks version is up to date, as recent patches address extraction failures for msvcp140.dll and msvcp140_2.dll [8][9][7]. If problems persist, some users find success by manually installing the official VC_redist.x64.exe from Microsoft directly into the WINEPREFIX, which can bypass extraction bugs in the script [5][10]. Always ensure you are using a 64-bit WINEPREFIX if your target application is 64-bit, as mismatching architectures can cause severe stability issues [5].

Add the vcamp140 override.
When buildCommand finds the 2022 VC_redist installer, it calls writeV140Overrides. The v140NativeDlls list omits vcamp140, although Winetricks includes it in the vcrun2022 native,builtin set. An application that requires vcamp140 can therefore miss the intended native-first load order.

Parse the Run Process section of the game's installscript.vdf and of every installscript.vdf shipped under _CommonRedist, and let the vcredist step take the exe path and command line from there instead of guessing names and flags. The hardcoded table and year scan remain as a fallback for games that ship no script.

…marker Each Run Process entry names a HasRunKey; Steam writes it after the installer exits and skips the entry when it exists. Do the same: before launch skip entries whose key is already in system.reg, and after the step's wine session ends write the key for every entry that ran. Entries without a HasRunKey (old root scripts, the fallback table) get a synthetic key under the same Valve CommonRedist path. This makes the check per redist rather than per step, retries a failed installer, and lets a game shipping 2022 upgrade a prefix that only has 2019. It lives in the prefix, so a Wine version change or container reset reruns everything, while verify does not.

Preserve per-installer success before writing VC run state.
VcRedistStep.buildCommand joins installers with & inside cmd /c. The & separator continues to the next command after a failure. XServerScreen.chainPreInstallSteps then ignores the termination status and calls markStepDone for the completed Wine command. VcRedistStep.onCompleted has no selected-entry or per-installer result data, re-queries pendingEntries, and writes Installed=1 for every returned entry. A failed or interrupted installer can therefore lose retry eligibility.
Pass the selected entries and their individual confirmed outcomes through the completion callback. Mark only successful entries in SteamInstallScriptRunProcess; do not re-query all pending entries.

Description
Three changes to the vcredist pre-install step.
Read the install scripts instead of guessing. Steam declares every redistributable it runs in a
Run Processblock: the game's owninstallscript.vdfat the install root, and oneinstallscript.vdfinside each redist folder that comes down with the shared depots under_CommonRedist. Each entry hasprocess N(the exe, with%INSTALLDIR%) andcommand N(the silent flags Steam itself uses). NewSteamInstallScriptRunProcessparses those, reusing the token expansion fromSteamInstallScriptRegistry. The vcredist step now takes its exe paths and arguments from those entries, filtered tovcredist*/vc_redist*executables, so games with nonstandard layouts (Civilization V'sVCRedist\vcredist_x86.exe /q:a) get the right installer with the right flags. Only files that exist inside the install dir are accepted. The hardcoded path table and the_CommonRedist/vcredist/<year>scan stay as a fallback for games that ship no script. DirectX, .NET and anything else in the scripts is not run; the step only picks vcredist entries.Install the 2022 runtime the winetricks way. The 2022 vcredist has been excluded since #1571 because Dawn of War Definitive Edition then failed at load with
MSVCP140.dll failed to initialize, status c0000005. But Meccha Chameleon ships only the 2022 package and needs it. The step now queues 2022 like every other year and, whenever a v140-family installer (vc_redist.*.exe, 2015 and newer) is queued, first writes DLL overrides into the prefix'suser.reg, which is what winetricksvcrun2022does:ucrtbase=builtinconcrt140,msvcp140,msvcp140_1,msvcp140_2,msvcp140_atomic_wait,msvcp140_codecvt_ids,vccorlib140,vcomp140,vcruntime140,vcruntime140_1=native,builtinThe native 14.4x
ucrtbasethe installer drops into system32 is the most likely cause of the c0000005; winetricks never lets it load. The overrides are written host-side before the installer runs, so a recreated prefix gets them again through the existing prefix-stamp rerun.Track what ran with Steam's HasRunKey, not a marker file. Every
Run Processentry names aHasRunKey(e.g.HKLM\Software\Valve\Steam\Apps\CommonRedist\vcredist\2022\x64). Steam writes it after the installer exits and skips the entry next time it exists. The step now does the same: before launch it skips entries whose key is already insystem.reg, and when the step's Wine session ends it writes the key for each entry that ran (host-side, throughWineRegistryEditor, redirected underWow6432Nodelike Steam's 32-bit client). Entries with noHasRunKey(old root scripts, the fallback table) get a synthetic key under the same ValveCommonRedistpath. Effects:appliesTono longer looks at the.vcredist_installedmarker. The marker is still written by the generic step plumbing but is ignored by this step.PreInstallStepgains anonCompletedhook, called fromPreInstallSteps.markStepDone, which is where the keys are written.Still to validate on device with a 2022 redist present: Dawn of War Definitive Edition (previously broken) and Meccha Chameleon (previously needed it). If Dawn of War still crashes, the next suspect is the native
api-ms-win-crt-*forwarders, which is another override line.Tests: new
SteamInstallScriptRunProcessTest(token expansion and process/command pairing,HasRunKeyparsing and synthesis, missing or out-of-tree files skipped, root plus_CommonRedistscript discovery,hasRun/markRunround trip throughsystem.reg).VcRedistStepTestcovers script-sourced args,_CommonRedistscripts, missing script targets, 2022 queued, overrides written forvc_redistand not for pre-v140, skipping once the key is in the prefix, scriptHasRunKeylanding underWow6432Node, and running only the entries without a key.VcRedistStepTest,PreInstallStepsTest,SteamInstallScriptRunProcessTestandSteamInstallScriptRegistryTestpass ontestModernDebugUnitTest.Recording
