Issue

Install Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Service Pack 1 with winetricks -q vcrun2008.

It exited with error:

/BuildRoot/Library/Caches/com.apple.xbs/Sources/AppleFSCompression/AppleFSCompression-96.200.3/Common/ChunkCompression.cpp:49: Error: unsupported compressor 8

Fix

  1. Use The Unarchiver to unpack vcredist_x64.exe manually.
  2. Run wine install.exe to install

Reference

Related issue

Could use the same trick on other installers that triggered the same compression error, unpack them manually.
