Using Winetricks you should just have to install vcrun2005. But while I was trying to launch the installer I noticed that installer wanted to install VCRUN2015 SP1. So I stop the installation and I just run
winetricks -q vcrun2015 vcrun2005 allfonts
After that I re-launched the installer.
I just installed vcrun2015 for the peace of Mind.
Tips to know
The game is able to download sources/ update itself

How to install this game
Below are the instructions required to play this game on Linux
1. Preresuisites: Ulimit - Increase parameters for this game.
This game used a lot of files. You have to increase the number of files opened/used by your current Linux username by adding these lines below to /etc/security/limits.conf
david soft nofile 8192
david hard nofile 16384
In my case david is my username on my PC. So replace david by yours.
Notice: For the peace of mind I updated one more parameter to fs.file-max by adding this line to /etc/sysctl.conf. Here is the line I added
fs.file-max = 1000000
Then reboot the PC.
2. Steam and Fake installation packages
As usual set up a new WINEPREFIX. In my case my configuration file Hounds_The_Last_Hope.cfg for this game will be
export WINEPREFIX=/opt/Builds/wine/data/Hounds_The_Last_Hope
export PATH=/opt/gstreamer/1.6.3/bin:/opt/wine/apps/Hounds_The_Last_Hope/bin/:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/gstreamer/1.6.3/lib/:/opt/gstreamer/1.6.3/lib/gstreamer-1.0/:/opt/wine/apps/Hounds_The_Last_Hope/lib:/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/:/usr/local/lib/:/usr/lib

Once sourced by doing
source Hounds_The_Last_Hope.cfg
then we can go ahead...
Initialize the new WINEPREFIX by running winecfg etc...
Those packages installed through winetricks will be installed by Steam. We will make Steam believe that those packages are already installed by loading a registry file. This way Steam will not try to install those packages
To do so generate a temporary file Hounds_The_Last_Hope.reg. Its content will be
Log into your Steam account, buy the game, install it. Play and enjoy!
Tips to know - Keyboard mapping (French users) and disable "[Alt]+[F2]" Shortcut on LXDE
Disable [Alt]+[F2] Shortcut on LXDE
I use LXDE. This m** f** shortcut can break your game while you are playing. If this shortcut is not disabled then once both keys pressed then a new open will opened prompting you to execute a command.
To get rid of this shortcut
I am French. My keyboard is French (European) -- not Canadian French keyboard. There is a file for keyboard mapping "${WINEPREFIX}/drive_c/Program Files/Steam/steamapps/common/Hounds The Last Hope/Config/Profiles/keybind.ini"
I had to update this file for the following mapping
Switch between ' and ) keys. Since ) is not used in the game this is the key I choose so I can switch ' and ). I have to add those lines to my Hounds_The_Last_Hope.cfg file
Game works pretty well with Gallium Nine.
