This is fixed by patch OLE #81a (Part 1) if it gets committed.
It will then output:
err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {a65b8071-3bfe-4213-9a5b-491da4461ca7} not registered
Wow, that was FAST! (hmm, or was your patch before my mail? don't remember)

It's only a semi-fix, though, since IMHO it should output something like:
err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {a65b8071-3bfe-4213-9a5b-491da4461ca7}
not registered - try running regsvr32 on the container DLL of this CLSID value!

If they have enough expertise to know that the CLSID is that of a DXDiag object then I think they will know that they can register it by using regsvr32 and I don't think this is the right place for documenting the possible reasons for the error. However, this particular problem was that the user didn't re-register all of the DLLs after upgrading. Maybe we should have something in the docs that tells the user to do this after upgrading to a new version of Wine or have it done automatically somehow.
