The patch that caused the regression is:
http://cvs.winehq.com/patch.py?root=/home/winehq/opt/cvs-commit&id=8265

Unless it is safe to let InstallShield apps out of their "Desktop" 
prison, this really needs fixing.

Reversing the patch works for me, but I'm not absolutely clear what it 
was trying to solve, and there may be a less drastic solution.
