wine users - Oct 2008 - Everything crash after installing MS Visual C++ Runtime

I installed MS Visual C++ Runtime, and now almost every software that I try to
run on wine crashes.
How do I remove the Runtime? can someone give me a link to the orignal wine dll
(I think it is msvcrt.dll) to fix this problem?

Please post terminal output of the crash.

Installing a dll by just copying the file in most cases will not work.
It definitely will not work for the vs2005 and greater runtimes.

The easiest way to fix problems like this is to start over with a clean .wine
directory and reinstall your apps.

Why did you want to install a native visual C++ runtime?

If you absolutely have to do it, the safest way is probably to use winetricks,
see http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks

I used winetricks to install Visual C++ runtime, because I wanted to check if it
will make Messenger run. now messenger opens,  but the window is white and
empty. there is no way to reinstall the original wine dll?

You can delete your ~/.wine and reinstall whatever windows
applications you have installed.

Is that the only way?
