Bug ID: 58905
           Summary: Many Microsoft Store installers fail to start with
                    System.TypeLoadException
           Product: Wine
           Version: 10.18
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: mscoree
          Assignee: [e-mail]

System.TypeLoadException error

Happens with:
Tiktok https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9nh2gph4jzs4
Netflix https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9wzdncrfj3tj
Prime Video https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9p6rc76msmmj
Snapchat https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9pf9rtkmmq69
Whatsapp https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9nksqgp7f2nh

and likely many more. You'll need to switch the user agent to pretend to be on
Windows to be shown the download button labeled "Install". Otherwise the Store
only shows a "Copy link" button.

The error can be worked around with `winetricks dotnet48`, although the next
crash due to missing Windows.Globalization.GeographicRegion follows quickly.

No window even appears.

This will probably need winmd support, but it's not there yet.
