I believe Kornél's explanation is correct. I've seen some Windows
installers instantiate ManagedInstallerClass using the .NET embedding
API and use IManagedInstaller as a COM server to start an install.
Wine implements that API based on Mono, and I'm hoping to see
ManagedInstallerClass implemented so these installers can start
working.

It appears that Mono's COM interop code translates exceptions to
HRESULT returns, so Mono currently provides an IManagedInstaller
object whose ManagedInsall method just returns E_NOTIMPL.
