--- Comment #7 from rmaz@gmx.net 2011-04-19 16:47:37 CDT --- It seems (as per programs/winecfg/drive.c) that winecfg attempts (and fails) to create or open (CreateFileW) a file MOUNTMGR_DOS_DEVICE_NAME that apparently (include/ddk/mountmgr.h) resolves to \\.\MountPointManager
I'm not sure where in the filesystem this file should be and why it should be there. Is this HAL stuff? This mountmgr.h file is (c) 2007 Alexandre Julliard, who recently took brief interest in the maybe related http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25765
However, building --without-hal doesn't change a thing.
