vc++ install requires NetUserModalsGet

by James Hawkins

Hi, Taking the advice of Ivan, I downloaded the beta of Visual C++ 2005 to see how far it could work in Wine, and these are the results: # wine vcsetup.exe fixme:ver:RtlVerifyVersionInfo (0x406df40c,64,180000): Not all cases correctly implemented yet fixme:ole:CoInitializeSecurity ((nil),-1,(nil),(nil),0,3,(nil),0,(nil)) - stub! fixme:netapi32:NetUserModalsGet (null) 2 0x406df394 Then an error message pops up stating that "a problem has been encountered while loading components" and then it exits. Looking into netapi32/access.c, NetUserModalsGet is a stub and returns NERR_InternalError by default. I think vcsetup is requiring this call to succeed so it bails out because of the error. Reading the trace and the msdn docs about NetUserModalsGet, vcsetup is calling with the level parameter == 2 so it is requesting the domain name and identifier. With the included patch, I have stubbed the structure of the 4 levels that can be queried, but I haven't written the code to handle them yet. If anyone has any information or links that will enlighten me about netapi32 or anything pertaining to this matter, I would greatly appreciate it. quote from MSDN: "The NetUserModalsGet function retrieves global information for all users and global groups in the security database, which is the security accounts manager (SAM) database or, in the case of domain controllers, the Active Directory." Does wine have a security accounts manager or an Active Directory? -- James Hawkins

Flags for building an rpm

by Dan Timis

A colleague built a wine rpm a while ago. Here is the size and date: 9922591 Apr 29 14:32 wine-20040408-1muse.athlon.rpm If I look on the winehq site I see similar sizes, only slightly larger: wine-20040716-1rh8winehq.athlon.rpm 11662876 Unfortunately, my colleague is incommunicado for the next couple of weeks, and I cannot ask him how he built the rpm. I added a patch to fix the problem I reported recently in menu.c. Then, I built the rpm with the command: # rpmbuild -ba --platform athlon wine-20040408-2muse.spec Here is what I get: 85910178 Jul 29 21:25 wine-20040408-2muse.athlon.rpm This is significantly larger. I looked at the contents and the problem seems to be mainly in /usr/lib/ All files are significantly larger. What flags am I missing when I am building the rpm? Thanks, Dan Timis Muse Research, Inc.

I noticed this "error" with other programs. Apparently, wine (or at least this build) doesn't support creating links in the start menu, or something along those lines -- it makes sence when you consider that wine users shouldn't exactly see a point in "accessing" these windows shortcuts. However, your program's setup is finicky about being unable to create shortcuts for the program, so you can't continue. (Some installs complain, but allow you to continue...) Maybe wine-devel could consider creating a stub, or just falsely return true to these calls? Also, you might want to look at CVS code, to see if this has already been implemented. If all else fails, try looking at the M$ Windows binaries/patches for win95 - i.e. DCOM, and MSI stuff, etc. They *might* help, but correct me if I'm wrong. > After i click cancel all the starcraft files are deleted.

Also, when i try to > run the game from the program files directory, sc complains about the cd not > being present. Setup Program probably creates shortcuts, then reg entries. But since it can't create shortcuts, it never creates the reg entries. That's my theory. (See above.) Most games are stupid in that they rely on their registry entries to tell them that the program is installed, as opposed to actually checking the filesystem. > > here are the errors wine gave me: > bash-2.05b$ cd /mnt/cdrom/ > bash-2.05b$ wine INSTALL.EXE Oh! One more thing. Your CD-Rom should be mounted to a dosdevice, and you should/can execute it from there, I think. So your first line should/might say "cd /home/<user>/.wine/dosdevices/<cd>:". (/home/cedric/.wine/dosdevices/e:) Also, note that windows never had case-sensitive names -- maybe bad program is causing errors by Linux/wine being case sensitive? > err:font:ReadFontDir Can't open directory > "/home/cedric/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/Fonts" > Fontconfig error: line 24: not well-formed (invalid token) > Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file > fixme:bitblt:X11DRV_BitBlt potential optimization - client-side DIB copy > fixme:bitblt:X11DRV_BitBlt potential optimization - client-side DIB copy > fixme:shell:Stream_WriteLocationInfo writing empty location info > err:font:ReadFontDir Can't open directory > "/home/cedric/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/Fonts" > Fontconfig error: line 24: not well-formed (invalid token) > Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file > err:menubuilder:InvokeShellLinker failed to extract icon. > fixme:shell:Stream_WriteLocationInfo writing empty location info > err:font:ReadFontDir Can't open directory > "/home/cedric/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/Fonts" > Fontconfig error: line 24: not well-formed (invalid token) > Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file > err:menubuilder:InvokeShellLinker failed to extract icon. > > And some random info: > bash-2.05b$ ls -l ~/.wine/dosdevices/ > total 0 > lrwxr-xr-x 1 cedric users 8 Jul 11 10:22 a:: -> /dev/fd0 > lrwxr-xr-x 1 cedric users 22 May 16 22:16 c: > -> /storage/windows-drive > lrwxr-xr-x 1 cedric users 10 May 16 22:16 com1 -> /dev/ttyS0 > lrwxr-xr-x 1 cedric users 10 May 16 22:16 com2 -> /dev/ttyS1 > lrwxr-xr-x 1 cedric users 10 May 16 22:16 com3 -> /dev/ttyS2 > lrwxr-xr-x 1 cedric users 10 May 16 22:16 com4 -> /dev/modem > lrwxr-xr-x 1 cedric users 2 Jul 11 10:53 d: -> /d > lrwxr-xr-x 1 cedric users 11 Jul 11 18:25 e: -> /mnt/cdrom/ > lrwxr-xr-x 1 cedric users 12 May 16 22:16 f: -> /home/cedric > lrwxr-xr-x 1 cedric users 8 May 16 22:16 lpt1 -> /dev/lp0 > > bash-2.05b$ uname -a > Linux lfs 2.6.7 #1 Sat Jun 26 14:30:34 Local time zone must be set--see zic > manu i686 GenuineIntel unknown GNU/Linux > > bash-2.05b$ gcc -v > Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.2/specs > Configured with: ../gcc-3.3.2/configure --prefix=/usr --enable-shared > --enable-threads=posix --enable-__cxa_atexit --enable-clocale=gnu > --enable-languages=c,c++ : (reconfigured) ../gcc-3.3.2/configure --prefix=/usr > --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --enable-__cxa_atexit > --enable-clocale=gnu --enable-languages=c,c+ > > Please CC me as i'm not a member of this list I hope you don't mind me putting you in the To: line instead. > > Regards, > cedric > -- > The only dumb question is the one omitted > > De enige domme vraag is degene die niet gesteld wordt > _______________________________________________ > wine-users mailing list > wine-users(a)winehq.org > http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users Just my two cents. Hope I helped in any way possible. Consider joining the wine-users/wine-devel lists, and taking part. It's a good idea, and using e-mail filtering software like POPFile is easy; even the most inexperienced users can just mention noticed behaviour in Wine. (Or, use internal filtering software in your e-mail client - 99% of wine e-mails already have [Wine] in their subject lines anyways.) Error messages are self-explainatory if you know how to read them. :) -Michael

Fixing this problem is not trivial, it was only a matter of time before we found such an app. Basically we need to do what TransGaming did and flip our DCOM on top of RPC, however that will not be simple, our current code uses a totally custom protocol based on named pipes. I'm not fully sure what's involved: it may be easiest to simply remove the hack and fix what breaks with as many programs as possible. > (from discussions I read) I thought InstallShield used only (automation) > interfaces with the TypeLib Marshaller. No, we force all interfaces to go via it whether they want to or not. > Can you maybe point me to a (frequently used) program that uses the > InstallShield installer (that is know to work) so I can test it > specificly? --- iTunes :) But really, installshield is hugely popular, there are many such apps: demos of Macromedia products tend to use them for instance.

My mistake, its winrash that would be causing the window to open in the first place..but if it didnt winetest would end up doing it anyway at the moment Under win9x its always going to act as tho you just ran the application normally as a regular user

Uhmm, actually no. I'm currently trying to run an other program that has it's own proxy/stub code that should be used instead of the TypeLib Marshaller (since the TypeLib Marshaller doesn't seem to be able to handle this specific TypeLib). As far as I see it I have two options (to run this outprocess client/server program): 1) use the available proxy/stub code (which is what I assume Windows does?) However since some of the rpcrt4 stub/proxy handling in wine is not finished yet, this probably won't work always (and it doesn't yet for me for this application). And indeed I don't really know if this also affects for example InstallShield behaviour. 2) use the typelib marshaller if a typelib is registered (even though a proxy/stub is available). This is the current wine codepath, but it also does not work for me since I get some VT_USERDEFINED errors. But that started me wondering why the 'real' proxy/stub code is not used. Since some of the rpcrt4 code path seems to work with marshalling, I came up with this patch. What do you (and Rob) think is the best path to follow for now (what has the best chance of being successfull at this moment)? It seems to me currently I have two (wine) codepaths that both have their problems in relation to the application I am trying to run, but I don't know which path is the easiest/hardest to fix/work on. (from discussions I read) I thought InstallShield used only (automation) interfaces with the TypeLib Marshaller. Can you maybe point me to a (frequently used) program that uses the InstallShield installer (that is know to work) so I can test it specificly? --- Jeroen
