Weird error for the advapi32/eventlog tests on Vista+ when running winetest
Hi, Just noticed that we have 1 test failure on Vista+ for the advapi32/eventlog tests. I was sure I've tested these from Win95 up to Win7. When I run tests I want to do this as Administrator, so on Vista+ I select 'Run as Administrator' to start a command prompt, or to launch winetest. Running the mentioned crosscompiled tests is no problem unless you do this from the actual home directory (or any subdirectory) of the user that logged in. Winetest runs most of it's test in the %TEMP% directory and hence we see this failure. But I have no clue why (yet). Anyone? -- Cheers, Paul.

What are the errors you are experiencing? Are you getting access denied errors? If so, it may be due to the different file access permissions. What happens when you create/delete the files produced by winetest in the %TEMP% directory in the explorer GUI? Do you get/need a UAC prompt for it to work? Have you tried adding UAC information to the manifest if this is the case? Sorry I can't help out any further as I abandoned Vista a long time ago ^_^. - Reece

Ah, I see. This is the failure on test.winehq.org, correct? eventlog.c:586: Test failed: Expected ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE, got 5 5 is ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED. The create_backup function does not have any error checking -- what happens when you put the return values for these calls, and the GetLastError in ok checks, e.g. ok(DeleteFileA(filename), "error deleting the backup event log file"); ok(GetLastError() == 0, "GetLastError -- expected ERROR_SUCCESS, got %d", GetLastError()); - Reece

Hi Reece,

Yes. I'm in the process of writing loads of eventlog tests while keeping track of possible failures on test.winehq.org.
eventlog.c:586: Test failed: Expected ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE, got 5
5 is ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED.
The create_backup function does not have any error checking -- what happens when you put the return values for these calls, and the GetLastError in ok checks, e.g.
ok(DeleteFileA(filename), "error deleting the backup event log file"); ok(GetLastError() == 0, "GetLastError -- expected ERROR_SUCCESS, got %d", GetLastError());

Deleting the file works just fine. both in create_backup() and test_clear(). What makes it even more weird is that I have the same error when I run these tests as the user (not admin). I also don't get any UAC prompts in either case. Turning UAC off doesn't make a difference. I don't see any logical explanation why the function returns a different error. The fact that the function fails anyway makes me consider using a second possible last error for that particular test. -- Cheers, Paul.

Found it. The eventlog service runs under an account that doesn't have the necessary rights for a users home directory. This account is the actual one performing some of the actions. -- Cheers, Paul.
