[Bug 42023] The Magic School Bus Explores The Solar System crashes on launch; appears to be missing some files

I tried running the program in a virtual machine. There aren't any files
missing from MSKIDS. The only difference between the files that are there is
that the MSBSOLAR.INI written by Wine doesn't have blank lines between the
sections, whereas the MSBSOLAR.INI written by Windows does.

...and, weirdly enough, if I add blank lines between the sections, the program
doesn't crash but gracefully quits after the last message box is closed.


That said, the installer FIXMEs are strange—Dde_OnExecute is a stub and this
may be a problem, but even before that the values it's being passed aren't what
they should be (they should look something like "[CreateGroup(Microsoft
Kids)]"); they look instead like junk memory. I can't figure out why, either;
the fact that all the shell DDE callback goes on in a separate process makes it
impossible for me to tell, with my level of knowledge, what is triggering the
DDE callback (it doesn't appear to be DdeClientTransaction, though, which is
what I would have expected from the documentation.) If anyone can offer
assistance on how to debug this, please let me know.
