Bug ID: 35778
           Summary: Samsung Magician v4.0 fails to install (widl emits
                    incorrect var type for IDispatch* defaultvalue)
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.7.14
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: tools
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]

Hello folks,

I split this off from bug 35390 because this looks like widl issue.

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35390#c7

So next thing to check is vartype of default value for this parameter in native
typelib. If it's VT_DISPATCH|VT_BYREF, unlikely I think cause only NULL value
makes sense as a default, then widl is to blame, if it's stored at VT_PTR type
we need ITypeInfo code to deal with that. It's also possible that both parts
are broken.

I downloaded native wbemdisp and registered it (regsvr32)

http://www.dlldump.com/download-dll-files_new.php/dllfiles/W/wbemdisp.dll/5....

http://filemare.com/browse/62.99.77.70/WBEMDISP.TLB

With that part the installer goes further (succeeds) and trace log reveals the
defaultvalue type for IDispatch* is VT_DISPATCH (Wine's widl generates VT_PTR)
