[Bug 25400] New: Internet Explorer 4 setup complains "cannot find WINDOWS.HLP"

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25400

Summary: Internet Explorer 4 setup complains "cannot find
                    WINDOWS.HLP"
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.3.8
          Platform: x86-64
               URL: http://www.oldversion.com/download/msie401sp2.exe
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor

         Component: programs
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]

Standard output

Steps to reproduce:
1. Set windows version to NT 4.0 and remove z: drive in winecfg
2. Run iexplore -unregserver
3. Remove C:\windows\system32\schannel.dll to avoid bug 25359
4. Run the unpacker and installer

Early in the installation process, a message pops up:

Cannot find 'WINDOWS.HLP'. Do you want to find this file yourself?

If WINDOWS.HLP is available, it pops up instead. On Windows, nothing
help-related pops up during installation.

Native winhlp32.exe is a workaround.

This also happens with IE 5.5 in Windows 95/98/NT4 modes (but it needs native
advpack to get that far).
