WONTFIX comment for bug 382124 refeers to comments comments 17 and 19. Neither of the two deals with the idea proposed here. Please, WONTFIX this, instead of resolved duplicate, if you don't like the proposed way of dealing with the breakage.

The complexity of adding a mechanism to the installer which goes out to Microsoft's servers and fetches dbghelp.dll isn't worth it. We're not going to do this for that reason. This bug is also a WONTFIX, but I'll let bsmedberg say so.

My tendency would be to take a patch if it were simple enough, but that may not be practical. rstrong, can you WONTFIX this if you think it's too complicated to even take a contributed patch?

That sounds like it would depend on the patch, no?

Well, there's a minimum complexity required, such as an NSIS plugin to download a file, and security concerns. If rstrong doesn't want to maintain that functionality, this is WONTFIX.
