Curious Deployment Ponderings
by Jerry Haltom May 10, 2004

May 10, 2004

This could be possible right now, I've just got it floating around in my head and wanted to write it down someplace permanent so I don't forget. Right now there isn't really any concrete methodology for installing Wine is there? By this I mean something similar to how Perl, Python, Java, Mono, and all other runtime environments on Unix behave (Wine is a runtime environment eh!). A standard common directory (/usr/lib/win32) for Win32 .DLLs. Smarter directory diversion: "pretending C:\Program Files" is /usr/lib/win32-software or something". All of this is just floating around in my head, given some things i've noticed that I myself tend to do when I use wine... I keep my own C: drive in ~. There is no sharing of .DLL resources between users, and no potential for it. There is also no ideal way for a vendor to package Windows applications up into a proper RPM or DEB file, which installs the .dlls in the right place, and the program in another, and depends on the right infrastructure. It's pretty disorganized right now. Has anybody given relaying out Wine as I described any thought. I know Windows programs aren't the friendlyest for such a thing... Some save settings in Program Files, so putting it in /usr would be bad... But then again, lots of new Windows programs do behave good, putting settings in C:\Documents and Settings, and the HKCU key of the registry. Food for thought anyways.

Running "United Devices Agent" (was: Re: Unhandled API Call to Kernel32 Question)

Unless you're willing to pay for its development, don't hold your breath; I have a feeling CreateRemoteThread might be a tricky one to implement. Can you give a URL to the application in question? Is it the one at http://www.grid.org/download/gold/download.htm ? I just tried installing that for fun. Here's what I learned: 1. It requires MSI. I was able to download and run InstMsiA.exe from microsoft.com no problem. 2. It refuses to install on "Windows 95", so I had to edit ~/.wine/config and set Version to winnt. (Couldn't figure out how to do it selectively, had to do it for all apps.) 3. When the installer finished, it put up the "UD Agent Registration" dialog. Clicking on "Login" failed, and Wine displayed the warning fixme:ole:VarOr unimplemented part, V_VT(left) == 0x1, V_VT(right) == 0xB I'm running wine-20040213, so perhaps this has since been fixed ... or maybe not. Andreas Mohr implemented part of VarOr about 16 months ago (http://www.winehq.org/hypermail/wine-devel/2002/12/0625.html) and has been waiting for feedback ever since. Maybe you're already past that problem, I don't know. But it'd be nice if somebody updated VarOr to handle this case. That's probably easier than the CreateRemoteThread issue, btw. - Dan -- My technical stuff: http://kegel.com My politics: see http://www.misleader.org for examples of why I'm for regime change

There are some screenshots available now at http://www.flexbeta.net/main/articles.php?action=show&id=56 One of the comments on osnews noticed that in the picture http://www.flexbeta.net/images/david/winbridge_install.gif the second line in winbridge.lst is /etc/wine... There are more clues that this project David is just a (possibly repackaged) Wine. Gé van Geldorp.

[PATCH] Updates the wine alsa driver to the new alsa api. No functionallity changes.
by James Courtier-Dutton May 8, 2004

May 8, 2004

Is there any chance of getting my patch into cvs. I could then start making further improvements to the winealsa driver. Currently, the winealsa driver does a lot of stuff it should not, and I will changing things to make it more reliable with a wider variety of sound cards. If my patch is not going into CVS, I will not proceed with improvements over that. Cheers James P.S. Patch was posted with same subject line to the wine-patches list a few days ago.
