James Hawkins suggested using native comctl32 as a workaround to get IDA running. Here's a patch to mention that in the docs.
Using native comctl32 is just a workaround until the bug is fixed. The proper solution is to get this particular bug fixed one way or another. Frank Richter proposed a patch, but it hasn't been committed. We shouldn't document using native dlls though.

Could you please point me to the URL of the patch that is supposed to fix the IDA installer and has not been committed? I would like to try it with the Japanese RPG installer I asked about earlier. I tried googling for the patch, but there are so many uncommited patches by Frank Richter that I don't know which one(s) to pick, and since the error happens on what looks like a standard edit box, I don't know which file is supposed to be modified.

I believe it is this one:

I have tried the patch, and it actually works! The installer works correctly past the problematic point and installs the RPG. This patch should be included in the CVS ASAP, because a whole class of installers (all InnoSetup installers) can get fixed by this, as well as many Delphi applications, and the IDA program that seems to be necessary for many Wine developers. This is not a enhancement, it is a bugfix, and as such it should be merged despite the code freeze.
