Visual Studio 2005 running on Wine

Adam Strzelecki managed to get Visual Studio 2005 to run on Wine, there still seems to be some issues that affects usability, as stated in the wine-devel mailing list, but at least now I know that it can run. I've been trying with Visual Studio 2005 for a while now without luck, I'll try to follow Adam's steps and see if it'll work, Visual Studio 2005 (and Windows Mobile 6 SDK) are pretty much the only Windows programs I use.

Hi,
I just want to mention that I've managed to install Visual Studio 2005
completely with WINE.
1) installed "vcrun6" (with winetricks)
2) applied 1 patch from http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8439#c3
(Required for overall installation)
3) applied patched from http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=3754
(Required for .NET 2.0 installation)
4) applied "msi: ACTION_RegisterProduct store all InstallProperties"
match from patches list I just sent
(Without this patch Visual Studio 2005 will think that MS XML 6.0 and
some others is still uninstalled!)
Installation goes without problem, however running "devenv.exe" causes
several problems with .NET 2.0 packages and crashes a lot :( too bad.
Most crashes and errors are because of few missing WINE API functions,
and incomplete .NET 2.0 support.
Still I think WINE's close to run Visual Studio! which will be great
news for multi-platform developers.
See attached screenshots from my MacBook Pro running OSX 10.5.2.
