Clicking on print creates a dialog:

"Wordpad: Printing not implemented."

No change in Wine 1.7.33 except 64-bit installers don't invoke Wordpad at all
(or this fails) and so no dialog is printed. This might be a separate issue.

Also wordpad remains in memory after displaying the dialog rather than exiting.
Not sure if this is a regression but will check in a bit.

Went back to Wine 1.6.2 and wordpad does still remain in memory, so it doesn't
look like that is a regression.

The result being that any application that expects a reboot after installation
requires an actual reboot (or kill wordpad and let wineserver exit), if a user
has tried to print using this method.

Wordpad needs to exit after reporting the error, but it doesn't.

...in fact a new wordpad process launches each time, eating resources.

Ugly hack

Incredibly ugly but does the trick.
