Well you would need to debug this further. The only message that looks
like it *might* cause problems is the first:

What errors does this get you?

That's dumb. Why would it try to install something that is already
present?

To force usage of the stuff DCOM98 installed you need to run wine with
"--dll ole32,oleaut32,rpcrt4=n", or with CVS versions of wine like this:

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="ole32,oleaut32,rpcrt4=n" wine setup.exe

Try changing it. It might come good.
