The patches discussed above necessary, but alas, not sufficient.

WPO 2002 will install with a further patch that adds a stub for a routine that
isn't documented on MSDN.  That patch was not accepted.  No surprises there. 
It probably isn't necessary as the real problem must lie elsewhere.

Patches to LookUpAccountNameW() that may be necessary were accepted up to the
point at which they might make a material difference.  Lots of applications
install and run the way things are so why risk breaking them for one obscure
program ?

The root of the problem probably lies in the SID returned by GetFileSecurityW()
and how that changed when the stub in Wine 0.9.35 was replaced with a real
implementation.  However, again, lots of application install and run with
things the way they are ....
