If advpack.dll does not come with NT 3.51 out of the box, then your
change is correct, because the error is reporting that the module does
not exist (which is the case.)

I've always thought it would be very convenient, albeit expensive, to
have a test farm set up to run the tests inside vmware/qemu/etc for as
many versions of windows as possible and wine at least once a day.  An
alert could be sent to wine-devel whenever any of the tests change
state i.e. the test fails now when it passed before or vice versa.
