--- Comment #3 from Anastasius Focht focht@gmx.net 2008-04-02 16:25:06 --- Hello,
--- quote --- Does anyone know if these drivers work in Wine? --- quote ---
I'm tempted to say "forget it". That driver belongs to PACE Interlok software protection. Very intrusive at kernel level (ring0).
From difficulty level it belongs to StarForce "category" - if not worse.
Lots of stuff it uses go beyond the scope of wine, e.g. hooking of IDT, SSDT, peeking at kernel level structures (EPROCESS/KTHREAD/...). More worse it patches ntoskrnl at various places (relying on certain windows kernel layouts = highly version specific) ... such stuff makes even native windows shudder ;-)
At least the demo can be used without the driver - after applying 'sh winetricks msxml3' (wine msxml insufficiency).
