How I install Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library on PlayOnLinux? In Wine I use Winetricks, but it doesn't affect PlayOnLinux... :(

hello,

I am thinking about setting up an auto-reply for people who just don't show respect to this team by not being polite when posting ...
It never killed anyone to say hello or to ask a question nicely (or both)
>_<

Hi everyone.
I'm new here, and pretty new to linux (hence my use of pretty ubuntu).
I thought this would be the best place to bring this up.
I own the steam version of Left 4 Dead 2 which unfortunately needs Visual C++ to run on Wine. I have had the game running through Wine but would much prefer to have this game run through Playonlinux thanks to the ease of use this gives. I know this is the problem with this game because It cuts off at the exact same spot that it did before I installed Visual C++ for Wine.
I guess I would like to know how I get Visual C++ installed into my Steam prefix. As far as coding and terminal stuff goes I'm a novice so would love to be guided through any complex procedure. My question is the same as CheatCat but with a smiley face instead of an angry face. (I turned that frown upside down).
Thanks to all who contribute to this application by the way, it is appreciated.
Rick
