When debugging InstallShield, it helps to add +seh to the debugmsg command line and look for recent thrown exceptions before the failure, and in particular it's fruitful to look for oleaut32 routines returning errors (retval=8xxxxxxx). But note that I have done several fixes to oleaut32 and stuff after testing several installers, most of these fixes are only in WineX CVS right now, I didn't have time to consider submitting them to Wine yet. As an example, this badness is necessary for two game installers I've tested:
