Yes, although for that dll you also have to delete the
fake manifest in windows/winsxs for the dll in question.
I encourage you to try using winetricks when possible,
as it gets its dlls straight from microsoft.com, and handles
the winsxs detail for you.  So:
    wget http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks
    sh winetricks cc580
But my question is: why override comctl32?  What app
are you running, and why does it need native comctl32?

Aw, the safest way is to blow away the .wine directory
and reinstall your apps.   That's what I do.
