Hi again. You were indeed right about the regression thing. I found some other
apps that can produce the "installation support file"-error with all
wine-versions. So this bug has never been fixed.

But I also found out something interesting about the HeroesV-patch: The error is
not caused by the patch itself, but by the HeroesV-installer. I think it's like
that: When I install HeroesV some bug makes the HeroesV-installer create  a file
that is somehow "bad". Now when I run the patch-installer it accesses this file,
but due to the file being corrupted the patch-installer doesn't know what to do
and fails.

The file in question is "C:\Program Files\InstallShield Installation
Information\{20071984-5EB1-4881-8EDB-082532ACEC6D}\setup.ilg".

I installed HeroesV with wine. Then I installed HeroesV on Windows XP. After
that I copied the file setup.ilg from windows to the wine-directory, replacing
the existing one, and ... I could install the patch.
