COM / Installshield status?
by Dan Kegel Nov. 1, 2004

Nov. 1, 2004

What's the current status on bug 423 (http://bugs.winehq.com/show_bug.cgi?id=423) "Out-of-process COM support"? There hasn't been anything added to that bugzilla entry for two years, and presumably there has been some progress. Perhaps someone in the know could update that bug report. Likewise, what's the current status of Installshield support, and how much work would it be to fully support Installshield-based installers? I don't see any open Installshield bug reports, maybe I should file one against the apps I have that don't install at the moment. (Or would that be overkill?)

Default System Colors
by William Poetra Yoga H Oct. 31, 2004

Oct. 31, 2004

The last time I submitted a patch to change the default system colors from win95 to winxp (classic), it wasn't merged. I think this was because I didn't discuss it here. So now, should we change the default system colors for WINE, from win95 to winxp (classic)? I really think it looks a lot better with the new colors, as the win95 colors are too dull (MS certainly must have done a lot of research into this). Opinions, please. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Address AutoComplete - You start. We finish. http://promotions.yahoo.com/new_mail

Interesting Installshield failure running Keyhole installer
by Dan Kegel Oct. 31, 2004

Oct. 31, 2004

If you haven't tried the Keyhole demo on Windows yet, give it a shot. It's kind of fun to look at an aerial view of every place you've ever lived, say. You can download it from http://www.keyhole.com Unfortunately, the installer is a no-go under Wine (cvs as of a couple days ago). It puts up a dialog or two ("Starting InstallShield Wizard", "Preparing Setup"), and then stops with an Installshield dialog box "An error (-5006: 0x80004005) has occurred while running the setup..." There's a Report / Detail / OK choice, which is pretty cool. Choosing Detail shows: Error Code: -5006 : 0x80004005 Error Information: >Kernel\ServiceProvider.cpp (77) >Kernel\ObjectHolder.cpp (441) >Kernel\ServiceProvider.cpp (77) >Kernel\FileGroup.cpp (398) >Kernel\ServiceProvider.cpp (77) >Kernel\FileGroup.cpp (398) >Kernel\ServiceProvider.cpp (77) >Kernel\FileGroup.cpp (398) >Kernel\ServiceProvider.cpp (77) >Kernel\FileGroup.cpp (398) >Kernel\ServiceProvider.cpp (77) >Kernel\FileGroup.cpp (398) >Kernel\ServiceProvider.cpp (77) >Kernel\FileGroup.cpp (398) >Kernel\ServiceProvider.cpp (77) >Kernel\FileGroup.cpp (398) >Kernel\ServiceProvider.cpp (77) >Kernel\FileGroup.cpp (398) >Kernel\ServiceProvider.cpp (77) >Kernel\FileGroup.cpp (398) >Kernel\ServiceProvider.cpp (77) >Kernel\FileGroup.cpp (398) >Kernel\ServiceProvider.cpp (77) >Kernel\FileGroup.cpp (398) >Kernel\ServiceProvider.cpp (77) >SetupDLL\SetupDLL.cpp (1375) pAPP:Keyhole 2 LT PVENDOR:Keyhole Corporation PGUID:036ABCF1-A419-4074-B35C-2C70592A0EBB $7.1.100.1248PAK @Windows 95 (67109814) IE 6.0.2800.1106 For what it's worth, here are the Wine console messages that were shown up to this point: Please use the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG\Software\Fonts\LogPixels to set the screen resolution and remove the "Resolution" entry in the config file Please use the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG\Software\Fonts\LogPixels to set the screen resolution and remove the "Resolution" entry in the config file fixme:crypt:CRYPT_VerifyImage (rsabase.dll, 0x4024ce48): not verifying image fixme:crypt:RSA_CPCreateHash 4024ce48 32772 00000000 00000000 0x4024cd84 fixme:crypt:CRYPT_VerifyImage (rsabase.dll, 0x4024c790): not verifying image fixme:crypt:CRYPT_VerifyImage (rsabase.dll, 0x4024ef38): not verifying image fixme:crypt:RSA_CPCreateHash 4023d9c0 32772 00000000 00000000 0x4024eea4 fixme:ole:RegisterTypeLib Registering non-oleautomation interface! fixme:ole:RegisterTypeLib Registering non-oleautomation interface! fixme:ole:RegisterTypeLib Registering non-oleautomation interface! fixme:ole:RegisterTypeLib Registering non-oleautomation interface! fixme:ole:RegisterTypeLib Registering non-oleautomation interface! fixme:ole:ITypeInfo_fnRelease destroy child objects fixme:ole:ITypeInfo_fnRelease destroy child objects fixme:ole:ITypeInfo_fnRelease destroy child objects fixme:ole:ITypeInfo_fnRelease destroy child objects fixme:ole:ITypeInfo_fnRelease destroy child objects fixme:ole:ITypeInfo_fnRelease destroy child objects ...

Re: Wine on FreeBSD current
by Gerald Pfeifer Oct. 30, 2004

Oct. 30, 2004

>> I'm just wondering if it is supposed to work as well as FreeBSD stable. Right now, Wine doesn't work at all on FreeBSD -STABLE: wine: failed to initialize: /swtest/wine/dlls/ntdll.dll.so: mmap of entire address space failed: Cannot allocate memory and before that I used to see deadlocks upon startup of non-trivial applications (such as Forte Agent, both 16bit and 32bit flavors). I believe there are also signficant threadings issues on -CURRENT, so overall Wine is hardly, if at all, usable on any version of FreeBSD I have access to, even though I'm still working to keep it at least compilable on FreeBSD 4.9 and 5.2/5.3.

Re: Gradient Color for Caption Bar
by William Poetra Yoga H Oct. 30, 2004

Oct. 30, 2004

My patch didn't get merged... :( Anything wrong with it? Maybe I should make NC_DrawCaption() call DrawCaption() instead? Otherwise I think it's good enough. Any ideas why my patch wasn't merged? Lack of testsuite? Thanks. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Address AutoComplete - You start. We finish. http://promotions.yahoo.com/new_mail

CurrentVersion missing
by James Hawkins Oct. 30, 2004

Oct. 30, 2004

The string HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\CurrentVersion is missing from a normal wine install. When installing gmail notifier, the installer checks to make sure the OS version is NT or greater, but the installer calls GetVersion(), and after that succeeds, it then queries the CurrentVersion string above from the registry, but doesnt find it. After I added the key manually and set it to an arbitrary "1", the install proceeds (it only checks the length of the string not the actual data). Shouldn't this string always be a part of the registry anyway? And if so, how would I go about making sure that it is a part of the standard registry that ships with wine? -- James Hawkins

Adminrights...
by Devils Cry Oct. 30, 2004

Oct. 30, 2004

Hey there! I just had an app which i wanted to install, but when i started the setup it gave me an error about the uninstallshield being active and that it has to be turned off. I googled a bit around and found out that this error only occurs if the setup is started by a user without administration rights. I tried it out, after suing i had no problems anymore. I guess there are several risks connected to so my question simply is: how can this be ommited? Regards Nikolas
