I hate having to look through piles of log files to find errors. Yes, I know that I could grep them, but that is an added step that should not be needed. -- James McKenzie

Recent msi/package tests failures

Hi, I was looking into the recent test failures for the msi/package tests on my WinXP box. The reason for most of them was a stray MSITEST package that couldn't be removed via the 'Add/Remove Programs' (had to remove stuff from the registry). Any one else seeing this? (Adam Petaccia's XP box has the same issue I guess). -- Cheers, Paul.

Can you write a test for this? I think we have some depth stencil tests in dlls/d3d9/tests/device.c which you could use to test this. I think you are right with this patch - I vaguely remember writing a test for a different getter function, but it is better to be sure
