Add new dll mscat32
Hi, I would like to add a stub dll for mscat32.dll in wine. It mostly is a forwarder dll ie, it has forwards for most of the functions to wintrust.dll And it also provides functions for reading catalog files. It is mostly used by microsoft for it installers. I mean for its own products like Winodows Media Player 9, IE, etc. I wanted to inform to get the approval from wine team, for inclusion of this dll. Thanks, VJ

Hi, I havent tested by putting a stubbed dll, but i have tested it with the native one. Well, after I have written the stubbed dll, will test again. As I have to check which function it actually uses. Thanks, VJ On 6/12/07, James Hawkins <truiken(a)gmail.com> wrote:

First of all, please bottom-post on this mailing list. You took me a little too literally. By 'adding a stub dll fixes a bug', I meant that if the installer requires functionality in this dll, and adding the dll and then implementing the required APIs gets the installer working, there's no reason not to include it. -- James Hawkins
