Summary: Database app refused to install unless system32/drivers/etc/{services,host} exist Product: Wine Version: CVS/GIT Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: NEW Keywords: Installer Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: dank@kegel.com

A user's informix-based app refused to install until the empty files c:/windows/system32/drivers/etc/{services,host} were created, see

http://winehq.org/pipermail/wine-users/2008-March/030256.html

I looked around a bit for other system32/drivers/etc files.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/130024 describes hosts, services, and protocols http://support.microsoft.com/kb/105997 describes lmhosts

It looks like some apps find that directory by looking at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\DataBasePath and MSN Messenger 7.5 f*cks up by changing that variable's type, see http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6343068

Getting this all right would be a lot of work. Just creating two empty files might be reasonable, though, since it allows the user's app to install.

If the bug is still present in today's wine, but was not present in some earlier version of wine, please update version field to earliest known version of wine that had the bug. Thanks!

--- Comment #5 from Anastasius Focht focht@gmx.net --- Hello folks,

revisiting, still present.

I've found an application / installer for reproduce: 'Autodesk 3ds Max 9' trial version.

https://web.archive.org/web/20150724061434/http://files.modacity.net/softwar...

There is a problem with the current registry setting of 'HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\DataBasePath' most installers use to query the path.

I've created bug 50318 to have the path in registry corrected so it is in sync with the Wine-Staging patchset.

With fix from bug 50318:

Wine-Staging patchset could be considered for upstreaming into mainline after Wine 6.0 release unless you want to celebrate the 13th anniversary of the bug.

SAP GUI is another application that needs these files (see related bug 49656). winsock PE conversion depends on this, so there's hope that it will be fixed sometime soon :)

--- Comment #7 from Anastasius Focht focht@gmx.net --- Hello Hans,

--- quote --- winsock PE conversion depends on this, so there's hope that it will be fixed sometime soon :) --- quote ---

I've created follow-up bug 50323 which highlights the problem that these files need to be managed in winsock API.

Bug 50323 ("Multiple applications need 'Ws2_32.getservbyname' to read information from '%SystemRoot%\System32\Drivers\Etc\services' (Autodesk 3ds Max 9 RaySat service)")

Bug 49656 ("SAP GUI - Ws2_32.getaddrinfo crashes with non-standard service (/etc/services)") could also have a follow-up one since the conceptional problem was not addressed there.

Alternatively we could convert one to a "meta" ticket, that is something like "Ws2_32.* API needs to manage '%SystemRoot%\System32\Drivers\Etc\services'". It might be harder to get a closure on though if affected apps use different sets of winsock API calls.
