wine users - May 2011 - no connection point for {33ad4f92-6699-11cf-b70c-00aa0060d39

Trying to run a certain game called Empyrean Challenge. The program is written
in VB apparently. In the past, the program ran fine by installing via winetricks
dcom98. Well, that has been removed from dcom98.

Without dcom98, I get a Windows runtime error 438. The relevant message on the
console, near as I can tell, is:

fixme:ole:OLEPictureImpl_FindConnectionPoint no connection point for
{33ad4f92-6699-11cf-b70c-00aa0060d393}

I can't seem to install dcom98 any more since winetricks no longer supports
it, and, it doesn't install using the wiki instructions. I got a new
machine, and, was trying to reload this program.

I am running on Mac OSX Snow Leopard. Wine version is 1.3.18

No, that is a common error.

There is another fix that replaced DCOM98.  Search the forums for it.

I replaced oleaut32.dll and everything works fine. I hope it's a bug that
gets fixed one day. There are still a number of VB apps out there.
