--- Comment #12 from Anastasius Focht <focht at gmx.net> ---
Hello folks,

confirming ... a nasty one.

It seems the InstallShield script engine copies the 'out' value during
VarI4FromDisp() -> VARIANT_FromDisp() -> IDispatch_Invoke() using VariantCopy()
without initializing it first.

Wine passes an uninitialized stack based VARIANTARG (param ought to be 'out').

I added additional 'FIXME' traces around the invoke call to make it more
visible:

Debugging/snooping lets the installer succeed (different stack values).

Initializing 'srcVar' before invoke call fixes this.
