The primary motivation for this bugfix was to enable the DCOM98 installer to work again correctly. It requires at least < 4.something, otherwise it refuses to install. As our OLE framework isn't yet up to scratch for some tasks, being able to install it is important (hopefully once I finish digesting Oves work maybe it will be less important).
You may be able to install it by playing with the load order (i.e. set ole32 to native only). Having a bogus version in the builtin is going to force everybody to install the native, which is not what we want.
