Can't confirm, works fine for me with a clean WINEPREFIX with wine-3.0-rc4 and windows version set to win98.
I retested and it appears to only occur with the version set to WinMe. Occurs when updating the registry during the installation of "Support for Media Indexing".
The Windows Media Player 7.1 installer looks identical and has the exact same behavior. Needs sfc.dll.8 for WinMe but not Win98.
