--- Comment #46 from Anastasius Focht <focht at gmx.net> ---
Hello folks,

while revisiting old tickets I already stumbled across this one multiple times.
Every time I have remember myself about the improper close here.

In short: nothing was fixed here, VC6/VB6/eVC++ installers still crash due to
missing HKEY_PERFORMANCE_DATA.

I remove the regression sha1 which didn't make any sense. See comment #6, buggy
installer code that just worked by chance.

Just for science I made a very simple test with old .NET 1.1 app (comment #29)
and Wine 1.3.34 release. A few releases behind Wine 1.3.30 which was used as
closure here. It's one of the earliest releases I can still build as shared
Wow64 on modern Fedora 32/GCC 10 without back-porting millions of patches (47
patches in this case).

Forward nine years ...

Using eVC++ 4.0 installer which had always the same problem as MSVC6
installers.

My winedbg proxy mode workaround from
https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=2538 still works
around the crash for these installers.

Bug 33037 ("Visual Studio 6 can't be installed with WinVer >= Win2K (missing
HKEY_PERFORMANCE_DATA 230, process object)") is fortunately open and staged.

$ wine --version
wine-6.0-rc3
