Yes it still works. However you should think about not using that control because in general it's very badly behaved. Most of the functionality provided by the control is available directly on the IE DOM via the ContentEditable attribute...

Now, any app running on a Vista system that trieds to instantiate the DHTMLedit control will encounter failure unless the MSI has been installed.
