http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58146 --- Comment #4 from ToastyBug <cemer99797(a)isorax.com> --- If by regression test you mean using git and compiling from source then no, that wiki page (https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/wikis/Regression-Testing) is also only applicable to Linux and I'm only comfortable using Gcenx's pre-build macOS binaries. I did also test it with Gcenx's Wine CrossOverFOSS 23.7.1-1 based on Wine 8.0.1 (https://github.com/Gcenx/winecx/releases/tag/crossover-wine-23.7.1-1) and there is the same issue (and it also works when winecfg is set to Windows 7) Same issue (and winecfg Win7 workaround) with all these Gcenx Wine build: (https://github.com/Gcenx/macOS_Wine_builds/releases) wine-stable 10.0 wine-stable 10.0_1 (22 Apr 2025 release) wine-staging 10.6 -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

Which version of Wine 9 are you using? Apparently this has been an issue since at least Wine 8 -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

(released in wine-8.2) Before winedevice.exe was already crashing, but HWiNFO was still showing its user interface. So I am unsure how the current regression commit got determined. Before 0692d07f8 HWiNFO did load a driver file "HWiNFO_x64_W7_204.sys", after this commit it loads "HWiNFO_x64_204.sys". This newer file makes winedevice "crash" already a few instructions in DriverInit. There is a comparison with 0x2b992ddfa232 which seems related to "Buffer Security Check" and the default value of the "security cookie". This cookie needs to be changed already at this point, if not a "int $0x29"/fastfail" gets executed. Further searching seems to show this should probably be initialized by the loader in update_load_config. But this does not happen because the offset in the LoadConfig directory shows a value as if the image was not relocated. I tried to attach a file with more details, and a workaround to enter the relocation path for this driver file, which seems to make DriverInit to continue, and HWiNFO shows its user interface, like with wine-8.1. However also winedevice.exe crashes like with wine-8.1.

Unfortunately I don't know what this instructions should produce, so this workaround just ignores them. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.
