The tests are not for the function __vbaNew2 of MSVBVM60.dll. The tests are 
for SHGetFileInfoA function in shell32.dll. The implementaion of the 
SHGetFileInfoA function in wine makes the __vbaNew2 function fail. Therefore 
the tests of the function SHGetFileInfoA were made stricter to satisfy the  
function __vbaNew2. If the modified test are succeeding on all windows 
versions, the implementaion of SHGetFileInfoA in wine can be changed to 
succeed too, and the problem is fixed.
