If this is an ole bug, can you see if native dcom98 works around the issue?

$ wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks
$ sh winetricks dcom98

Yes, dcom98 seems to work around this issue, however, it doesn't work on a
non-clean installation.

Also, if dcom98 is installed before office 2003, the office 2003 installer
fails.

Had the exact same problem, only after installing dcom98 get two error messages
upon trying to install solver via the addin menu in excel:
"Invalid data format"
and then after clicking OK:
"Microsoft Office Excel cannot access the file 'c:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\OFFICE11\Library\SOLVER\SOLVER.XLA"
Please help me! there is almost no documentation on solver, and its the only
thing keeping me from being completely windows free!!

dcom98 won't work with Office2003 and up since they require Windows 2000 or
later. ole32 dlls provided by dcom98 don't work in NT mode.

I know this isn't a user support forum.  Just posting because I was able to
reproduce the error and using dcom98 as discussed above did not work around the
issue.  It simply gave a different error.  (Invalid data format instead of an
"out of memory" message)

Is this still an issue in current (1.1.26 or newer) wine?

This is still an issue under 1.1.26 under Ubuntu 9.04

Maybe someone found any solutions by now?

The solution is probably to rewrite dlls/oleaut32/typelib.c:_invoke in assembly
so it can handle an arbitrary number of arguments.

Actually, _invoke already has a patch for it in bug 10050.

Bug 11447 depends on bug 10050, which changed state.
