wine users - Sep 2010 - Installing VC++ 2008 runtimes from termial only

I have an odd situation, I'm working in a server environment without a GUI
and I need to get the VC++2008 runtimes installed for wine, but through
winetricks it tries to create an X window. Obviously, this is not possible.

Are there any other options to get the VC++ runtimes installed through the
terminal?

Do you have access to any linux box that has the same version of wine
installed and has a GUI?

Not on that machine.  However, you can do this on a machine that does 
have access to a GUI and then copy over the resulting registry changes 
AND the resulting files (in the same locations of course.)

Have you tried setting DISPLAY to point to a machine that does have
an X "server" running?

Lots of things won't work in Wine if you do not have X server. Lots of
things create windows (even hidden, but still windows). Say thanks to MS for
wonderful design...

Only pure console apps, might work without X. Wine should be able to cope with
absence of X (in most part).
