fixme:ole:_xread Read only 0 of 4 bytes from 0x50.
fixme:ole:_StubReaderThread Failed with hres 80004005

Any help welcome! Are more Info needed?

I guess it's using InstallShield; do you have stdole32.tlb in the system 
directory? (I am not sure if you need stdol2.tlb too)

The log I get seems to show a COM exception caused by a call made by 
ITypeInfo_fnInvoke that was unable to cast an argument to the required type 
(a first time, VT_I4 vs VT_BOOL, the second time VT_DISPATCH vs VT_PTR)	
I quickly patched the code to perform the conversion, and the installation 
started, so that seems to be the problem.
BTW, there are other calls that expect VT_PTR and VT_SAFEARRAY as a data 
type but are being invoked with a VT_ARRAY|VT_VARIANT, but those don't seem 
to stop the installer, for the moment.
