Bug ID: 42087
           Summary: IE7 Microsoft HTML Application Host (mshta.exe)
                    doesn't function properly
           Product: Wine
           Version: 2.0-rc1
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown

TechNet HTA test
Xubuntu 14.04 x86_64, AMD Phenom 9550, Wine Staging
Windows Version: Windows XP
Encountered this problem while investigating a workaround for bug #26463
affecting the CD game "18 Wheels Of Steel: Big City Rigs" (includes American
Long Haul, Garbage Truck, and Bus Simulator).
Installed IE7 via winetricks 20161005 and set override for mshta.exe to native.
 Executing the CD autorun installer works but the window is the wrong size and
images are duplicated (see attached screenshots).
wine reg.exe ADD HKCU\Software\Wine\DllOverrides /v "mshta.exe" /t REG_SZ /d
"native,builtin"
wine C:\windows\command\start.exe /d d:\ d:\autorun.exe Launch.hta
I peformed two other tests - a basic "HTA Test" example script from TechNet
(attached) and getdate, a simple date calculator from Rob van der Woude.

HTA Test loads a window with a button to start the script but clicking the
butto causes a large blank dialog window to pop up.
The getdate script loads an oversized window with a series blank dialogs in
front (can be closed).  Language in visible pull-downs is not English. 
Attempting to use a pull-down results in more blank dialogs.
Tests performed on Wine with IE7 (7.00.5730.13).  Windows Script Host 5.6 and
5.7 used.  Corefonts installed.  Both tests work in WinXP with same version of
IE7 installed.
Note that the version of mshta.exe always matches that of Internet Explorer. 
Testing other versions of IE7 in Wine is difficult due to the lack of
standalone installers.  Full version list:
