"+ole,+rpc,+storage,+variant" log for "Unable to create InstallDriver instance"
error (not "1158:" error)

Greetings oh amazing Wine developers and maintainers,

I've been trying to install Peachtree Pro Accounting 2007, but I get various
errors.  Sometimes when I try to run the installer a window pops up and a
progress bar starts chugging before it errors out with a popup message saying
"Unable to create InstallDriver instance, Return code: -2147221164".  Other
times an InstallShield popup that says "1158:" appears immediately.  In both
cases I start with a fresh prefix.  It seems like I get the "Unable to create
InstallDriver instance" error if I haven't tried the installation recently,
otherwise I get the "1158:" error, even if I've rebooted lately.

If I get the "Unable to create InstallDriver instance" error then I get the
following stderr messages in the console:

err:ole:create_server class {e9513610-f218-4dda-b954-2c7e6ba7cabb} not
registered
err:ole:CoGetClassObject no class object {e9513610-f218-4dda-b954-2c7e6ba7cabb}
could be created for context 0x4

If I get the "1158:" error there are no stderr messages.

I looked at the error log, and I saw stuff for ole32, oleaut32, and rpc; I
guessed that this is an ole32 bug, but you'd know better than I would.

I'd like to take a moment to say thanks for Wine, I'm always amazed at the fact
that it can emulate Windows in Linux.  My hat's off to you people who can
reverse-engineer DCOM and such.  What fantastic complexity!

- Rob
