Yes, there is no mechanism as such, and i wonder if that really ever is. Here`s
my five cents on it: for 100% backward compability with xp one would have to
change dlls version resources, the fake dlls resources but for other installers
maybe also remove hardcoded registrykeys (from wine.inf), and some might even
look for existence of dlls or (non-)existing entry points in dlls, is that
dealable?

For wmp10 i think it can be workedaround by extracting WMP10.exe with
cabextract, then run setup_wm.exe manually, it seems to install all the stuff
afaict
