Group, While running tests at my end, I found an odd problem that seems to have developed out of the blue. It seems that only 32 bit dos executables will now run on my system. All of the 16-bit executables that I've been using for the past few years generate 'bad exe' errors. I've redownloaded most of the tree and nothing has fixed this problem. Before I look too deep, is this a problem that anybody else has? It's possible that my local tree has been damaged or that my development tools are not right.

Uwe Bonnes,
Alexandre submitted something with regard to 16 bit yesterday (wine/dlls/version info.c). Remove this and if that doesn't help remove all other yesterdays patches step by step.
This problem, 'invalid exe file,' is not that new. I've been having it for a little while. It seems that all of the programs compiled under gcc work. No other dos executable is currently working. I am just checking to see if anybody else is having this problem to see if this is something that I need to patch or if it's a problem with my system. Does anybody else run a test dos executable that is 16 bit?

I experienced this problem some times ago. But it happened only under the debugger. The problem was happening during the parsing of the exe header. It turned out to be a failure in the llseek unix function. I did not figure out what really happened and did not investigate further. Don't know if you're experiencing the same problem though... Bye Christian
Christian Costa,
I experienced this problem some times ago. But it happened only under the debugger.
When I tried running a program under 'wine --debugmsg +all,' I got an endless loop. I tested it with edit.exe. What I was hoping for is that the program would crash and I could get an idea of where the program was having the problem. That would have given me a starting point. That did not happen.
The problem was happening during the parsing of the exe header. It turned out to be a failure in the llseek unix function. I did not figure out what really happened and did not investigate further.
My problem seems to only effect programs compiled for 16 bit dos. 32 bit dos programs appear to be running correctly. I'm saying 32 bit because I know that gcc compiled these programs to be 32 bits.
Don't know if you're experiencing the same problem though...
It's worth checking into. Any pointer will help. God Bless, --Robert 'Admiral' Coeyman -- --- May you live as long as you wish and age but a single day. http://www.dotguy.net/ admiral(a)corner.net Webmaster/ Linux Administrator Computer Co-Op/CornerNet

Aye aye sir! Good to read you here, Rob! As you know I am also fiddling around with VGAP/WinPlan/P4 and also had sort of these errors. I have no dev tools here, but am going to reinstall as I said in PM. All the best Admiral Regards from Jenneraaal.. :-) (Try to pronounce that haha!) -- *º¤., ¸¸,.¤º*¨¨¨*¤ =Oliver(a)home= *º¤., ¸¸,.¤º*¨¨*¤ I http://www.bmw-roadster.de/Friends/Olli/olli.html I I http://www.bmw-roadster.de/Friends/friends.html I I http://groups.yahoo.com/group/VGAP-93 I I mailto:VGAP-93-subscribe(a)yahoogroups.com I I http://home.t-online.de/home/spacecraft.portal I
