Privileges to create COM components

Hi,

I'm trying to install this patch: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... &iId=22440

Unable to create required engine components, check whether you have
appropriate privileges to create COM components.

I think missing privileges could be emulated somehow - but I just don't know what COM components are.
Is there a way to fix this?

From a first read, it looks like this is some sort of DRM/protection
scheme, but I could be massively wrong. The problem does appear that
the installer is trying to call an unimplemented function in ntdll.

I heared from a friend on his windows computer a patching program from Ubisoft downloaded and installed this patch, so prob this is kind of a DRM. But the game works fine without this patcher.
Since the game is already 1 or 2 years old I'd be surprised if they added a new copy protection.

At least I can add the part of wine which is missing to the bug, thx.

I tested this with ntdll on all settings, I disabled it, I changed it to native only and to wine only - the error and console didn't change at all.

Are you sure this is ntdll related?

Wine can't use native ntdll.
