Well, it's a bit of a workaround, but I don't know whether it's a bug or by
design. In Vista mode, it doesn't get very far, complaining that the platform
update isn't installed. In Win7 mode, I guess it skips that check since a real
Win7 wouldn't need the platform update. XP mode won't work since the installer
checks for that and refuses to install on anything pre-Vista.

So, I think it's only a bug if Wine is supposed to appear to have the platform
update for Vista installed.
