I tested the 'file' regression test on NT4 and XP and it fails on both. Here is where the error occurs: tests/file.c:236: Test failed: DeleteFile failed (5). tests/file.c:240: Test failed: couldn't create file "testfile.xxx" (err=5) tests/file.c:242: Test failed: _hwrite complains. [...] 5 means 'permission denied'. DeleteFile fails just after _lcreat(filename,1) creates a read-only file: H:\wine\wine\dlls\kernel>attrib testfile.xxx A R H:\wine\wine\dlls\kernel\testfile.xxx Because that file is marked read-only, DeleteFile fails to delete it, then causing the failure of all the other tests. I checked and the same happens on non-smb drives (c:\). I also checked that the exact same thing happens on Windows 98. So the test needs to be fixed.
