FWIW, Windows OpenOffice seems just fine now.  I installed it without
any memorable problems a few weeks ago on a completely stock Wine
install.  (Long story why.)  However, I don't think it's too hard to
find MSI installers that break.  What seems like a good example are
Microsoft's "viewer" programs - Word Viewer, etc.  Seems like complex
installers for relatively small programs.
