Hello,

Event viewer reports a page fault inside a custom action dll on Windows,
but the installer completes and claims success.
--- quote ---

So the installer _is_ broken and Windows gets along probably due to the fact it
runs CA's in their own remote custom action server process.
There is no harm when it dies -> watson/app crash handler invocation reported
in eventlog.

Wine doesn't have a remote CA server process yet hence the forceful invocation
of watson/registered application crash handler is the thing that kills main
Wine msi process here.

Bug 18070 is about remote CA server process needed for apps that suffer from
COM initialization problems (CA server main thread which creates an MTA reused
in CA threads).
The brain damaged installer here needs the "isolated" server process to not
tear down the main msi server process.

Hans, should this stay open or merged into bug 18070 because remote CA server
is needed too (though due to different technical reason).

Regards
