Yard sale windows app fun: Lotus SmartSuite '96. 1-2-3 works, WordPro doesn't.

I went to a yard sale today, and that's always dangerous.
Today I ended up buying a copy of Lotus SmartSuite '96.
I then installed Wine-20040615.tar.gz and tried installing my new disc with
   $ wine d:\\install.exe
It got all confused, started iterating through every file underneath my
home directory, and printed out
   err:shell:SHGetFileInfoW pidl is null!
for each one!
On a hunch, I made my home directory look empty,
   $ mkdir .blort
   $ mv * .blort
   $ wine d:\\install.exe
That seemed much better; Wine only printed out the SHGetFileInfoW error
once, presumably for the lotustmp.000 directory it created in my home
directory.

The next problem was when a dialog box
   "Select a Program Group..."
popped up.  At about the same time, an error box with title
"Setup Message" and body
"Setup has encountered a problem.
Please report File='COMMON\SYMTAB11.C',Line='618' to Microsoft
Product Support Services."
This looks a bit lot like
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;113252
which happens when GetWindowsDirectory() returns a string with lowercase letters,
but clicking OK let me past with no ill affects, and I was able to install.

At least when all I installed was Word Pro.
When I also tried installing 1-2-3 and ScreenCam, I
got the error "Lotus Setup" : "Install encountered an error trying to start Regedit.exe."
That popped up twice, after which install thought for a long time, then warned
fixme:ole:CoCreateInstance no classfactory created for CLSID {00021401-0000-0000-c000-000000000046}, hres is 0x80040154
and seemed to get stuck.  Still, things seemed to be more or less well installed,
so I tried running two of the apps.

$ cd c/lotus/123/programs
$ wine 123w.exe
worked quite nicely.  (Well, it did say the date was 6/17/104, but nobody's perfect!)

Next I tried Word Pro:
$ cd ~/.wine/c/lotus/wordpro
$ wine wordpro.exe

That failed immediately, so quickly that
   WINEDEBUG=+all wine wordpro.exe
was practical to run.  Here's part of its output.  It looks as if
the very first instruction accesses a null pointer in a strange
way.

So I guess I got a couple hours worth of entertainment out of
my $5, and I can now run Lotus 1-2-3 if I feel like it.
Cool.
