comctl32(.ocx) crashes dialogs

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install excel 2003
2. install comctl32(and/or comctl32.ocx)
3. open the external data import dialog in excel
4. the whole thing will crash

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect the dialog to open, instead the whole excel crashes.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Currently wine 1.3.5, excel 2003, Debian Squeeze.

Please provide any additional information below.
Well, I have some other winetricks packages installed (msxml3-4, corefonts 
mfc40-42), but neighter of those crash excel. I installed them one by one and 
tested excel after which package it crashes. It was the comctl32. I have a 
feeling that accented letters might affect this crash, like á, é, ó and 
others. I noticed that this only happens when you open a dialog where there are 
accented letters. ASCII letters don't have any negative effects so far. The 
fontfix package doesn't fix the problem.

And finally, not only excel crashes, but any app that has accented letters in 
dialogs. One more important info: Accented letters have to be in a kind of 
"changeble field" to crash the app (like the replace dialog in word 2003, or a 
hungarian office 2003 installer where you can customize which parts install).

Can you attach the backtrace?

OK. First of all that is what it writes at every app: "The program DW20.EXE has 
encountered a serious problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the 
inconvenience."
Second: here's the backtrace attached.

that's btall, which is only appropriate for hangs, I think.

Can you do 'winetricks nocrashdialog', let the program crash, and send the log?
That should have a nice backtrace.

OK.
Here's another try.
Now I used the command found here: 
http://wiki.jswindle.com/index.php/Debugging_Wine#Faster_debugging

The command was: WINEDEBUG=+ddraw,+d3d7 wine EXCEL.EXE > ExcelCrash.log 2>&1

I hope that suits more than the previous one.

If you need something else, just reply, and I'll try to send the needed output.

The problem with comctl32 seems quite basic. With a fresh wine and winetricks 
comctl32:

- regedit shows its icons on a black background.
- winetricks mdac28 will fail with "installation program appears to be 
damaged", a FIXME ntdll:NtQueryInformationProcess Unimplemented information 
class ProcessWx86Information is thrown on the command line (calling mdac_typ 
directly works, must be an interference with version=win98)
- a commercial app throws several access violations

The update described here 
http://code.google.com/p/winezeug/issues/detail?id=194 won't make any 
difference: the installer fails, manually copying 5.82.2800 or 5.82.2900 
doesn't help.

Copying all DLLs from the SP2QFE-Folder of KB923191 to the system32 folder 
fixed the commercial app I've been testing with, regedit will still show its 
icons on black background.

Can someone find a downloadable app I can test this with? Does wine notepad 
have the same problem?

I don't see a problem with Notepad (native or wine), depends.exe works well 
too. The treeview in regedit (wine AND native version) has the icon display 
problem using native comctl32, both are ok with builtin.

The black display problem has always been there, that seems to be a microsoft 
bug, but it's non-fatal. The crash is the one I'm worried about.
