We don't need to create the keys, but we need to create the handle to the key. We could use NtOpenKey instead but NtCreateKey works just as well and avoids duplicating code. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

strange code

by Andreas Mohr

Hi all, in PROFILE_LoadWineIni(), we return from processing in case we're not the boot thread only *after* having created HKLM\\Software\\Wine\\Wine registry keys: if (!CLIENT_IsBootThread()) return 1; /* already loaded */ Why ?? After all the registry is globally shared in wineserver, so it shouldn't be necessary to create them again via NtCreateKey if we're not the wine boot process. Am I right ? -- Andreas Mohr Stauferstr. 6, D-71272 Renningen, Germany Tel. +49 7159 800604 http://home.nexgo.de/andi.mohr/

I am a proud owner of Microsoft Visual C++ version 1.52 which I received together with C++ 4.00 as a bonus several years ago. So, if someone needs to compile something, I am ready to help. I am also going to make backups of all that ancient stuff (win 3.1, 3.11, Borland C++) soon. Ladislav Sladecek

I have no idea if OSR2 or 98 or Me behave differently, but I doubt it, else there would be a huge number of complaints in past Usenet postings archived on Google. IMO to fix the problem it's sufficient to change GetVersion16 along the lines of : if version = 0400 and winversion=win95 then version = 3.95 Gerard

It's there, I just missed it when I read the email. I just jumped right on the source and tried to compile it (which did not work out of the box since I was using a 32bit compiler). Ok, it returns 0x5f03 here.

IIRC, MS messed up with GetVersion16. They documented HIWORD(GetVersion16()) as returning the major version number when it was in fact in the lower version number or vice-versa. Because of that when they switched to Win95 they wanted the new version number to be greater than the old, no matter how you read it, hence the 3.95: 0x5f03: 3.95 > 3.1 and 95.3 > 1.3 0x0304: 4.3 > 3.1 and 3.4 > 1.3 0x0004: 4.0 would not do since 0.4 < 1.3 Now, why would we have a version with 3.95 and another with 3.4? Is it a Win95 vs Win95 OSR2 issue? Localization should not affect this (though everything is possible). -- Francois Gouget fgouget(a)free.fr http://fgouget.free.fr/ I haven't lost my mind, it's backed up on tape around here somewhere...

I can compile and run 16 bits apps, on win3.1 if needed (it's a pain because it's old hardware I hardly use otherwise) GetVersion 16 bits must be a special case, returns 3.95, while 32 bits apps get 4.00 Gerard

Which do you think applies? The first and the second one are not the case. I'm not sure about the third one. The program is running in fullscreen mode but only if i use the --desktop option. In --managed mode and without mode specified there is no screen output. The program does not show anything like a screen or window (something that has a title bar or a border). How can i check which of the last two cases wine thing it is true? Bye Stefan
