Bug ID: 51058 Summary: Buddy Launcher: fails to install/run, "failed to create driver" Product: Wine Version: 6.7 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: ntoskrnl Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: pernegger@gmail.com Distribution: ---
Created attachment 69919 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=69919 terminal output [wine 6.7]
BuddyLauncher is a Japanese online activation DRM "solution" required for some commercial games, the client is available from https://www.drmbuddy.com/mypage/dl_launcher.php [the big grey button to the right that says "無料ダウンロード", you want BuddySetup3201.exe]. It may need LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 or similar set to run.
I know DRM is tricky, and I'm not holding my breath, but considering the last update was in 2011 and it supports everything back to 98SE(!) I thought it might be simple enough to at least report it.
The installation completes without a GUI error message, but it's obviously not installed correctly, and the terminal output has this at the end:
0118:fixme:ntoskrnl:IoAllocateDriverObjectExtension stub: 00426DD8, 003B5000, 76, 00D9FA1C 0118:err:ntoskrnl:ZwLoadDriver failed to create driver L"\Registry\Machine\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\{1B5AFF9E-65D4-4392-9CD0-DF0DB39A6AD4}": c0000002
