Summary: program is unable to play .avi file
           Product: Wine
           Version: 20030318
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED

- my application attempts to play an .avi file as part of its splashscreen (on startup). 
It failed with the message 'Can't get AVI Codec'.  After some tracing and looking 
around, i made the following changes to get it to run:

a) in my system.ini file, there was only entry for  'VIDC.MRLD=msrle32.dll' 
under drivers32 section, so I added another entry 'VIDC.MRLE=msrle32.dll' 
(don't ask me why, i just noticed that it was looking for MRLE in the code).  This 
has changed my error message to 'Can't get output BIH'. So,

b) in $SRC/dlls/comctl32/animate.c, around line 659, you'll note a code 
that does SendMessage(ICM_DECOMPRESS_GET_FORMAT); first time 
to get the size of the buffer, and second time to actually get the buffer.  Well, 
the second time call will fail, since it will return the size of the buffer (just as it 
did the first time), but the original code is checking the return against ICERR_OK. 
I changed the check to the following (which fixed my problem):

if (fnIC.fnICSendMessage(infoPtr->hic, ICM_DECOMPRESS_GET_FORMAT, 
                      (DWORD)infoPtr->inbih, (DWORD)infoPtr->outbih) != outSize) { 
        WARN("Can't get output BIH\n"); 
        return FALSE; 
    }
