IIRC, InstallShield 6 can work if you copy stdole32.tlb from a real windows to wine's system directory.
Yep, copying just that one file made things get a lot further! After futzing around for half an hour, I finally convinced our app to install. There appear to be a lot of rough edges here; I had to turn on ole logging and run just the extracted setup.exe (not the package-for-the-web wrapper) to get things to work
It looks like there's a Heisenbug here. If I run without logging, I get a window titled "Unhandled Exception", with contents "Error Number: 0x80040706 Description: Object reference not set Setup will now terminate."
Intriguingly, this error message may be from a bug in Installshield itself; see http://www.installsite.org/pages/en/bugs_is60.htm I'll check to see what version of Installshield this setup.exe was built with. However, I wouldn't be suprised if there's a race condition here, seeing as how setup worked fine with logging on.
