InstallShield 6 again (debuggers requested)
by Ove Kaaven Oct. 1, 2001

Oct. 1, 2001

Here are some kludgy patches (against the current WineHQ CVS) that's supposed to make InstallShield 6 with its stupid interprocess COM sort of work, but it doesn't for some reason, probably because of something else in Wine that's broken... and because of a lack of time, I think I really need some debugging assistance. Most of these patches are too ugly to be submitted to the official wine as-is, I'll clean these parts up later, but probably not before InstallShield has been debugged and actually works with these hacks. To make this run, you need to copy stdole32.tlb from a real windows and put into c:\windows\system. Then run your favorite InstallShield 6 setup.exe and wait for it to crash. --debugmsg +ole is recommended. It crashes for me after about 25 remote method calls. If you find out why, let me know. Please.

DdeConnect errors while running setup.exe
by Ian D . Stewart Oct. 1, 2001

Oct. 1, 2001

Dear Wine Developers, Due to resource constraints (75 MHz processor, 1.2 GB hard drive, 16 MB RAM), we recently replaced Windows98 on our daughter's PC with Linux Mandrake, using the IceWM window manager. It isn't quite as flashy as Windows, but it boots beyond the startup screen, which is more than can be said for Win98. Well, to make a long story short, I've installed and configured Wine following the instructions in the Wine User's Guide. Everything seems to be working properly, but when I attempted to run the setup.exe for 'Jim Henson Muppets Letters: Capital & Small', I received the following errors: err:ddeml:DdeConnect .. but no Server window available err:ddeml:DdeClientTransaction Invalid conversation handle err:ddeml:DdeClientTransaction Invalid conversation handle err:ddeml:DdeClientTransaction Invalid conversation handle fixme:ddeml:DdeUninitialize16 stub calling DdeUninitialize Following the recomendations in the Wine User's Guide, section 3.2 (Installing Wine Without Windows), I re-ran wine with --debug msg +module,+file. I didn't see anything in the trace that jumped out at me, but I've attached it here, just in case it means something to someone else. One last thing. The setup.exe appears to be a 16-bit app, originally designed for Windows 3.1. Not sure if that makes any difference or not. Any help in resolving this would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Ian D.

Bug in CreateWindowEx
by Luke Stras Sept. 29, 2001

Sept. 29, 2001

I'm trying to get Civ2 to run under wine (checked out via CVS today), and I've run into a particular problem. The installation is totally stand-alone -- all DLLs are built-in. I get an invalid page fault in X11DRV_GetDC [winpos.c:441], at the line which says: drawable = data->client_window Some debugger work shows that data is NULL. Now, the backtrace shows that we get *here* from a call to WIN_GetMinMaxInfo from CreateWindowEx [win.c:885]. The problem, as I see it, is that USER_Driver.pCreateWindow doesn't get called until [win.c:922] -- in other words, when the callback inside Civ2 receives the WM_GETMINMAXINFO, it tries acquiring a DC for some reason, and this causes the crash. Now, I don't know enough about how wine works internall to fix this. Can anyone provide any suggestions? -- Luke Stras <stras(a)utias.toronto.edu> "The meek can have the Earth; the rest of us have other plans" --Henry Spencer

Is there a specific application that I should be attempting to install ? Or is there a specific version of stdole32.tlb that I need ? Daniel Walker

fixme:pthread_kill_other_threads
by Uwe Bonnes Sept. 28, 2001

Sept. 28, 2001

Hallo, I don't understand why pthread_kill_other_threads ist called when a programm creates a new process. With the pthread_kill_other_threads call, the starting process dies. This is a +relay,+server,+... log: trace:dosfs:DOSFS_GetFullName returning /home/dosd/cae/ql82/scs/TKWDOG.EXE = D:\CAE\QL82\SCS\TKWDOG.EXE 08068938: new_process( inherit_all=0, create_flags=67108864, start_flags=257, exe_file=200, hstdin=4, hstdout=8, hstderr=12, cmd_show=1, filename="D:\cae\ql82\scs\TKWDOG.EXE" ) 08068938: new_process() = 0 { info=204 } fixme:pthread_kill_other_threads_np 08068938: select( flags=12, cookie=0x405c5778, sec=1001624181, usec=913175, handles={204} ) 08068938: select() = PENDING 00000000: *fd* 0 -> 46 08625a70: *fd* 6 <- 46 08625a70: *fd* 8 <- 47 08625a70: init_thread( unix_pid=2070, teb=0x40127ce0, entry=(nil), reply_fd=6, wait_fd=8 ) 08625a70: init_thread() = 0 { pid=0x86259a0, tid=0x8625a70, boot=0, version=53 } This is an strace of that part: 1898 close(28) = 0 1898 chdir("/home/dosd/cae/ql82/scs") = 0 1898 write(2, "fixme:pthread_kill_other_threads"..., 36) = 36 1898 execve("/usr/local/bin/wine", ["/usr/local/bin/wine", "--", "tkwdog.exe"], [/* 57 vars */] <unfinished ...> and I think this relates to scheduler/process.c:fork_and_exec if (newdir) chdir(newdir); if (argv && envp) { if (!filename) { argv[1] = "--"; exec_wine_binary( argv, envp ); } else execve( filename, argv, envp ); } What can happen between chdir() and execve() to trigger the pthread_kill_other_threads() call?

pthread_atfork and PTHREAD_FORK
by Bill Medland Sept. 26, 2001

Sept. 26, 2001

Can someone tell me what we should have here? (It might be interesting to know how it's supposed to work too but that's beside the point). I had a case where pthread_atfork was being called with two null pointers, so it all blew up when PTHREAD_FORK tried to execute the code they pointed to. Is it legal for pthread_atfork to be called with null parameters (in which case I will correct PTHREAD_FORK, otherwise I'll assert the pointers). Bill
