------- Additional Comments From vitaliy@kievinfo.com 2005-30-09 22:31 ------- HAL.DLL & NTOSKRNL.EXE are the two major pieces of the windows NT+ kernel. Even if you stub HAL.DLL (it's easy all it probably imports are a SpinLock functions) there are still no way this can work on Wine. Because it's missing completely kernel level environment. You best bet is to use no-cd patches for your application.
