Bug ID: 40875
           Summary: ITHVNR does not work in wine
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
      Distribution: ---

Note: ITHVNR AND ITH ARE NOT THE SAME PROGRAM. ITH'S WINE BLOCKING CODE DOES
NOT EXIST IN ITHVNR.

Via https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40476 which was incorrectly closed
as invalid (the report was about ITHVNR, not ITH)

Parts of original thread follow.
> OP summary:

Program name: ITH-VNR
Details: It's a hooking program that attaches itself to a running process. Used
mainly to extract text at runtime from Japanese games (Visual Novels).

(There is an older version, but since this is the latest maintained one,
posting this.)

It seems that Visual C++ Runtime 2013 is required.

Steps:
1. Create a clean 32-bit WINEPREFIX in, let's say ~/wine32.
2. Run winetricks vsrun2013 (to install the 2013 runtime x86 version).
3. Do env LANG=WINEDEBUG=warn+all WINEPREFIX=/home/user1/wine32  WINEARCH=win32
wine  ITHVNR.exe

Result: It does not start at all. Same for the default 64-bit wine.
> Culprit:

After some more poking around and MessageBox-driven debugging I've managed to
find the issue. The IthInitSystemService() function fails when it tries to open
the NT directory object \Sessions$session_id\BaseNamedObjects. On Wine
\Sessions$session_id seems to be a symlink to \BaseNamedObjects, but on
Windows the BaseNamedObjects directory obj is not linked to
\Sessions$session_id, it's inside of it.
