I was looking at the trace of the crash from bug 17600, and it looks like a custom action is calling MsiViewExecute with a null hRec.
I (sadly) don't know much about the wine MSI architecture, but the msiobj_lock on line 484 should fail since rec will never be fetched (null). I think the intention was to make it query->hdr (as it is released later).
A testcase for it would show if you're right or wrong ;-).
Not really. If you grep through the msi tests, you'll see that we call MsiViewExecute with NULL hRec all over the place. That doesn't mean there isn't a bug, just saying.

So I got a little time to look into this, and was completely blown away. Apparently doing
TRACE("dereferencing 0?=%p\n", (void *) &(((MSIRECORD *) NULL)->hdr));
works, since nothing ever gets dereferenced. I will post a patch for this small nit.
On a slightly different note, I have traced the problem in office 2007 to the patch by James, and in particular to INSERT_execute. The row index gets set to 0 if the primary key is null (which is what office install is doing), but if the insert is temporary TABLE_insert assumes that row >= tv->table->row_count, and subtracts from the row index, putting us in the negatives (or high positives due to uint).
I have a patch for this, but I don't know how to make a testcase (all I know is office installs), so would anyone mind pointing me to somewhere that explains msi temporary inserts?
And should I post the patch up on wine-patches to get it critiqued? (sorry, first time)
Mike.
