Hello,

random pick, fortunately I got hold of some Office 97 copy ... ;-)
The main problem is Office 97 installer shipping its own version of ole
automation library "oleaut32.dll" which is dynamically loaded at install time
using a different library alias -> "32autole.dll".

This only happens for installation/registration purpose of "Microsoft Access
Wizard Control Library" -> "ACCWIZ.DLL".

--- snip Setup\ACME.LST ---
[Windows 95 Files]
...
os\system\oleaut32.dll = 32autole.dll

[NT3.51 Intel Files]
...
os\system\oleaut32.dll = 32autole.dll
--- snip Setup\ACME.LST ---

In installer OS\system dir:

--- snip ---
$ls -l OS/SYSTEM/OLEAUT32.DLL 
-rw-rw-r-- 1 focht focht 491792 1996-11-21 11:37 OS/SYSTEM/OLEAUT32.DLL
--- snip ---

When "accwiz.dll" is loaded, DllRegisterServerEx("32autole.dll") is called.

All typelib registration stuff goes through "32autole.dll" a.k.a. OLEAUT32.DLL
Wine's builtin one is not used at that time (see previous proc addr
resolutions).

Basically it boils down to LoadTypeLib() and RegisterTypeLib() problems of
"stdole32.tlb".
It first tries to locate the typelib path using registry:

--- snip ---
...
0024:Call advapi32.RegOpenKeyA(80000000,653b28ac "TypeLib",0033ebc8)
ret=65351c33

0024:Ret  advapi32.RegOpenKeyW() retval=00000000 ret=65353360
0024:Call advapi32.RegOpenKeyA(000000f4,0033ebb4 "1.0",0033ee18) ret=65351ca2
0024:Ret  advapi32.RegOpenKeyA() retval=00000000 ret=65351ca2
0024:Call advapi32.RegOpenKeyA(000000f8,0033ebcc "0",0033eba8) ret=65351bb6
0024:Ret  advapi32.RegOpenKeyA() retval=00000000 ret=65351bb6
0024:Call advapi32.RegOpenKeyW(000000fc,653b2880 L"win32",0033eba4)
ret=65353360
0024:Ret  advapi32.RegOpenKeyW() retval=00000000 ret=65353360 
...
--- snip ---

It obviously fails to locate it because wine neither installs "stdole32.tlb" as
placeholder dll (with embedded typelib resource) nor establishes a proper
typelib path in registry.

(80029c4a -> HRESULT: TYPE_E_CANTLOADLIBRARY)

After adjusting wine install script for stdole32.tlb placeholder and fixing up
the typelib path in registry

--- snip ---
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Typelib{00020430-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\1.0\0\win32]
@="c:\windows\system32\stdole32.tlb"
--- snip ---

it still fails, now with: 0x800288BD -> TYPE_E_BADMODULEKIND

After various testing with hand crafted typelibs, switching between Platform
SDK MIDL and WIDL (just to cancel out WIDL as error path) it still wouldn't
load.

It turned out that the shipped ole automation bootstrapper expects
"stdole32.tlb" in v1 format (ICreateTypeLib/SGLT), not the v2 format wine
currently provides (ICreateTypeLib2/MSFT).
When manually generating a v1 typelib using ICreateTypeLib and embedding into
PE it successfully loads and registers.

To resolve this bug, wine needs to generate/provide a v1 style placeholder
"stdole32.tlb" in "c:\windows\system32\stdole32.tlb".
It seems even Platform SDK ships "stdole32.tlb" as v1 typelib.

Note: the installer/office runtime still suffer from other bugs, ex:

"Setup was unable to start DDE communication with the Desktop" -> DDE with
Windows program manager
"An error has occurred at changing workgroup database" -> MS JET database
engine provider/ole insufficiency

leading to later failure of access at run time.
This bug is about "accwiz.dll failed to register itself"
