Whatever it be, same effect shows up during the install of DCOM98 update,
IMHO.  Easy way to escape from this should be to hide builtin, "newer"
version of this binary.  

It can be done just by setting Wine to use only the native version of
hhctrl.ocx, AFAIK:

$ WINEDLLOVERRIDES="hhctrl.ocx=n" wine ...
or 
$ WINEDLLOVERRIDES="hhctrl=n" wine ...

(cannot remember correct format for the name of the hhtcrl.ocx library ATM)
