A problem with InstallShield was reported to Bugzilla. InstallShield support is very critical for the project and I decided to announce this bug on wine-devel.

I do not have time to do deep investigation of the issue.
Oh, well, it's a known problem. It's not easily fixable in the official Wine tree without, say, half a man-year of work. There's an ugly hack (an one-liner) to make it work (in conjunction with a stdole32.tlb file from real Windows), but since Alexandre never yet applied this hack to the official Wine (though it might be in CodeWeavers Crossover), I presume he never will before there's a "real" solution (which will take man-months of work, and writing an IDL compiler to let us generate our own .tlb file instead of using the native one, maybe another month or two).
After the WineX 2.0 release, I've once again been working on completing my version of the real solution (I'm close to have it working now), but of course, Gav probably still wants a fair chunk of LGPL-ed code relicensed in exchange...
