--- Comment #6 from Louis Lenders  ---
Setting to confirmed.

At the end of this comment is a very sad hack that makes the application start
for me.

AFAICT the problem is in lookup_assembly. It says in a comment there:

/* Lookup in <dir>\name.dll
     *           <dir>\name.manifest
     *           <dir>\name\name.dll
     *           <dir>\name\name.manifest
     *
     * First 'appdir' is used as <dir>, if that failed
     * it tries application manifest file path.
     */

The problem is that the requested manifests are not in
<dir>\name\name.manifest, but in <dir>"ODIS"\name\name.manifest.

This "ODIS" directory is defined as some kind of private path in
Setup.exe.config:
<configuration>
  <windows>
    <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
      <probing privatePath="ODIS"/>
    </assemblyBinding>
  </windows>
</configuration>

So my guess is wine is lacking support for such privatepath?

Note: Instead of a the stupid hack below, which just inserts "ODIS" in the
path, you can also extract the files with 7z, and then move the odis.bs.w*
directories out of the "ODIS" directory to where Setup.exe is. Than the
installer starts as well.

Sad hack:
