WINEDEBUG=+ole

Steps to reproduce:

1. Run `SETUP.EXE` (straightforward even if you don't know German)

2. Run `wine 'C:\office40\soffice.exe'`

This looked suspicious:

0114:trace:ole:StgOpenStorage16
(c:\office40\config\soffice.cfg,00000000,0x00000040,00000000,0,02D7F530)
0114:warn:ole:StgOpenStorage16 Couldn't open file for storage

$ sha256sum SETUP.EXE

--- Comment #1 from Bernhard Übelacker  ---
One thing to note: StarOffice 4.0 SP2 looks like it was also available as
32-bit variant, e.g. https://archive.org/download/star-office/StarOffice.iso
  soffice.exe: PE32 executable (GUI) Intel 80386, for MS Windows, 7 sections
This works without issue as far as I can see.

But the download in this bug looks like a 16-bit version of StarOffice 4.0 SP2:
  soffice.exe: MS-DOS executable, NE for MS Windows 3.x (3.10) (EXE)

Because "c:/office40/config/soffice.cfg" was just missing in the 16-bit
installation, I just copied it over from the 32-bit.
Repeating the step for a "c:/office40/explorer/adressen.sdb".

Then the next blocker would be this:
wine: Call from 76FA2467 to unimplemented function
ole2.dll16.READFMTUSERTYPESTG, aborting

So I assume the topic of this bug is why these files
do not get get generated properly in the 16-bit version.

In the 32-bit version both files are not existing just after installation,
therefore they look like they should get created on the first start of
soffice.exe.
