Version 2.0 is awfully old for ole32.dll. Why do you need that?
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).
I suppose we could make it every so slightly below the version DCOM98 requires, but there are only so many versions, and if an app checks for the version shipped in the DCOM updates, it'd still be too low.
The real fix is just to get the DCOM infrastructure to the point where nobody needs to install Microsofts version anymore, but it's going to be a couple of months before I have this patch in a form suitable for submission I suspect (unless Ove decides to beat me to it).
