[Bug 16093] New: MS AppLocale installer fails

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16093

Summary: MS AppLocale installer fails
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.8
          Platform: Other
               URL: http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/tools/apploc.mspx
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: download
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Applocate is a handy way to run apps in a non-system locale.  See
http://alcahest.club.fr/perso/apploc/applocale.html
for a description and screenshots.

(Incidentally, there is a similar utility called Winelocale,
see http://cinnamonpirate.com/hobbies/software/winelocale/
Its installation instructions are quite demanding,
and it probably only works for one app at a time,
unlike Applocate.  If I understand correctly, anyway.)

Installing applocate on wine fails; +msi shows that the failure
comes after running some external executable: 
trace:msi:HANDLE_CustomType2 executing exe L"C:\windows\temp\msic34.tmp -q
C:\windows\\almain.sdb"
...
err:msi:ITERATE_Actions Execution halted, action L"InstallFinalize" returned

it fails as it can't find a dll called apphelp.dll (whatever that may be)

After copying it from my windowspartition it crashes into 
wine: Call from 0x7b843650 to unimplemented function
KERNEL32.dll.BaseFlushAppcompatCache, aborting

Maybe a simple stubbed apphelp.dll could be of use

The install appears to succeed in wine-1.2-rc1, although no builtin
implementation of apphelp.dll exists to date.
