Myst IV Installer breakage

[Ulrich Dobramysl]

Hello!

On wine-users I was told I should go here for my problem. So here it is:

The game "Myst IV - Revelation" by Cyan Worlds / Ubisoft installed fine
in earlier versions of wine (although it was and is not playable).
Recently I tried again, and the setup crashed just before the copying of
files would start.

I was able to isolate the patch that caused the regression (with git
bisect). Here is the commit message:

The output of wine is here:

The last two lines are repeated very often.

I would fix it myself but my insight in the wine code is limited.
