Well, since you asked nicely...
Thanks to a power outage today I had the free time to try solving this. So far it looks like Wine has no official or unofficial support for the current MS runtime library! This is
very unfortunate. I tried providing all of the DLLs that the error log reports missing (as Korovev tried), but it still claims to be unable to load them. I looked at
the list of submitted patches for Wine and it seems there are a group of related code submissions just this week to add support (I'm not sure if these stubs will be sufficient for it to function with library overrides, or if more will be needed). I'm not well-versed in how Wine works well enough to judge the details, but it appears that for the moment OSX users relying on Wine will be unable to play Gehn until a workaround or solution is found.
I'm very unhappy about this, as even though OSX isn't officially supported, this was an unexpected and unintentional breakage. I'm hoping Wine/Winetricks has a working vcredist for the current libraries soon so that you all may continue to enjoy the game using your wrappers (at least until the day we finally have a native client and can leave the unreliability of Wine behind for good).
