What apps are you using that still need native msi?  Let's make sure bugs have
been filed at bugs.winehq.org

I have a problem to install msi packages, any of them, so I thought that maybe 
the one I trying to install is requires MS Installer 2.0 and tried winetricks 
msi2.
And bout "Let's make sure bugs have been filed at bugs.winehq.org", aren't I 
supposed to "Reporting bugs *in* Winetricks" here? At least it says that way 
here:

Please be specific.  What's one MSI package you have trouble installing?
(Ideally one I can download and try.)

Yes, you filed the "winetricks msi2" bug in the right place, but you need
to also file the "I have problems installing MSI packages" bug, and that's a 
wine
bug, not a winetricks bug.  I can file it for you if you show me how to 
reproduce it.

I've removed msi2 from winetricks.  Don't think it was actually useful anymore.
