So in other words, the original reported bug is fixed,
No... In first half he says "Trying to run the patch first results in a Windows error" and this error _is_ still present in 1.1.40, but it is not present it 1.1.35 or reverted 1.1.40
and you're now looking at a different bug in gdiplus (which existed all along, but the program had been using native gdiplus).
Don't know what to say :-/
1. Clean wine environment 2. winetricks dotnet2 3. wine supcom_patch_1.1.3269_to_1.1.3280.exe <-worked till .35, till AJ let it crash in .36, .37, then came your patch which broke it, .38 fixed crashing but your "breaking" patch remain till .40
...probably better to download and try your self or close this as fixed and move to bug 21798, which also fails from your commit.
