It's a step in the right direction. Before that commit office 2007
service pack 1 and other installers would fail because of custom
actions with conflicting demands for COM initialization.

FWIW, I think an improved version of Dan's patch would be acceptable,
after testing with some more installers. MS installers are good
candidates since they seem to consistently check the result of
CoInitialize().
