[Bug 14086] New: SimCity for Windows: installer says "Unable to start DDE communication with Program Manager."

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14086 Summary: SimCity for Windows: installer says "Unable to start DDE communication with Program Manager." Product: Wine Version: 1.0.0 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: trivial Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org ReportedBy: markk(a)clara.co.uk Hi, (This is the original SimCity for Windows, version 1.1. The program works under Windows 3.1.) The installer works okay, until it tries to add Program Manager icons. The Program Manager window appears, and a dialog box with the text "Unable to start DDE communication with Program Manager." is shown. There are Abort, Retry and Ignore buttons. If you choose Retry or Ignore, another copy of Program Manager is run and the same dialog box appears. (So repeatedly choosing Ignore causes many copies of Program Manager to be run.) The actual game appears to run more or less okay if the installer is aborted at that point. I used an original SimCity ReCreation CD-ROM, but SimCity for Windows can apparently be obtained from http://www.abandonia.com/en/downloadgame/393 -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

Internal error, likely corrupted media. Down to the metal ... actually I'm very happy that James added MsiBreak upon my request one year ago .. can't count how may times this turned out to be a real timesaver ;-) export MsiBreak=CASignDPCHWIDPair As an interesting sidebit ... that CA dll is stuffed with lots of anti debugging traps to prevent/discourage debugging - which made the task of tracking the problem down a bit of nuisance. They really should focus on improving their products than doing such kinderkram. The installer verifies the "integrity" (slightly exaggerated) of .cab files (OFFICE1.CAB) by iterating through the contents -> SetupIterateCabinetA(). Within the cab iteration callback, each entry is examined. Not all entries are taken, they are filtered against a matchlist to prevent any accidentally packaged files to be included in verification/copy process. If an entry successfully passed the criteria it is inserted into a sorted(!) list. When the cab inspection is finished, all collected filenames(!) are used to build a hashcode. This hashcode is verified against a pre-built code, which comes from signature file. This fails for wine: the hash doesn't match. There are 2500+ files in the package and manually debugging this would be really time consuming. No problem. Open the bag of tricks ;-) By using automated log breakpoints at appropriate places which dump data using expressions I was able to gather the whole list which finally revealed the problem ... --- snip CA dll log windows --- .. filename = "msnbc.ico" hash = E9129601 ------------------------------------ problem ----------------------- filename = "mso.acl.d0df3458_a845_11d3_8d0a_0050046416b9" hash = 8C72A024 filename = "mso.acl_1036.d0df3458_a845_11d3_8d0a_0050046416b9" hash = 0CC2F85C filename = "mso.acl_3082.d0df3458_a845_11d3_8d0a_0050046416b9" hash = D238109D ------------------------------------ problem ----------------------- filename = "mso.dll" hash = 5433D3CB .. --- snip CA dll log windows --- --- snip CA dll log wine --- .. filename = "msnbc.ico" hash = E9129601 ------------------------------------ problem ----------------------- filename = "mso.acl_1036.d0df3458_a845_11d3_8d0a_0050046416b9" hash = 7B6D32D6 filename = "mso.acl_3082.d0df3458_a845_11d3_8d0a_0050046416b9" hash = C1BB49B9 filename = "mso.acl.d0df3458_a845_11d3_8d0a_0050046416b9" hash = D000EF9B ------------------------------------ problem ----------------------- filename = "mso.dll" hash = 30488509 .. --- snip CA dll log wine --- Notice the different order which subsequently leads to different hash code.

'Non-Ignorable' Variable elements are not reset to ignorable. 'Shifted' Variable elements are made ignorable at levels 1 through 3 their level 4 weight is replaced by the old level 1 weight. Level 4 weight for Non-Variable elements is 0xFFFF. 'Shift-Trimmed' Same as 'shifted', but all FFFF's at the 4th level are trimmed. --- snip --- Wine doesn't implement handling of such variable elements (level 4 evaluation). Instead the level 4 data is reduced to LSB (1 bit) of 32 bit compressed sortkey. This means "." will always have greater weighting in wine due to level 1 (primary) than "_". It seems the standards group changes the level 1 weighting lots of times ... --- snip --- @version 3.1.1 002E ; [*0255.0020.0002.002E] # FULL STOP 005F ; [*021B.0020.0002.005F] # LOW LINE @version 5.0.0 002E ; [*0266.0020.0002.002E] # FULL STOP 005F ; [*021C.0020.0002.005F] # LOW LINE @version 5.1.0 002E ; [*026A.0020.0002.002E] # FULL STOP 005F ; [*021C.0020.0002.005F] # LOW LINE --- snip --- For the interested, the Mono project has some interesting info, how M$ implemented collation: http://anonsvn.mono-project.com/viewcvs/trunk/mcs/class/corlib/Mono.Globali… That's some serious brain damage ... wine doesn't want to do this :( --- Coming back to Office XP ... now you ask for any proof of this? Sure, use attached patch to get Office XP successfully installed and run. NOTE: This is a hack and not a proper patch! Just for demo. It adjusts the level 1 weighting for "_" to be greater than l1 of "." A real fix (variable elements handling) needs more work. Don't use this patch on recent wine GIT's, "msi" is currently "work in progress" which leads to problems after installation (see http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9023).
