Terminal output seen when the setup error/crash occurs (ran over VNC, hence the
ALSA & XRender errors)

When attempting to install the game King's Quest Collection Series (the 1997
edition), setup.exe displays this error dialog partway through copying the game
files:

"Setup was unable to add a program group for Kings Quest Collection"

Upon dismissing the dialog, a winevdm.exe crash dialog appears (i.e., "The
program winevdm.exe has encountered a serious problem and needs to close ...").
After dismissing the crash dialog, the setup.exe GUI remains visible on screen
in a broken state until the winevdm.exe process is killed.

Terminal output seems to implicate Dde_OnRequest and friends. Strangely, the
debugger never starts, despite the message at the end.

The issue also occurred in 1.3.6 and 1.2.0, but in both those versions the
debugger did start and produced a backtrace. I'm not sure why there's no
backtrace in 1.3.7. Note that my 1.3.7 test is against git master, whereas for
1.3.6/1.2.0 I tested pre-built DEB packages.
