I had the same problem some time ago.
It's ole32.dll in the ROS CVS tree, which does not correctly export its functions currently. We have to overwrite a bunch of DLLs with correct ones after "make install". You can find the correct DLLs in Filip's archive at http://www.volny.cz/xnavara/wine/dlls.zip until the correct source code is imported into the ReactOS tree.
