Bug #: 29323 Summary: Wine fails to load wordpro.exe, says Bad EXE format Product: Wine Version: 1.3.34 Platform: x86-64 URL: ftp://ftp.lotus.com/pub/lotusweb/product/smartsuite/de mo/suitedemo.EXE OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: loader AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: markk@clara.co.uk Classification: Unclassified
Hi,
This bug applies to the Word Pro executable in the Lotus SmartSuite Millennium demo. (Warning: the demo installer is ~345MB.)
After downloading and running the installer, run wordpro.exe. Wine fails saying wine: Bad EXE format for C:\Lotus\wordpro\wordpro.exe
I'm assuming wordpro.exe does actually work in Windows. Here is part of a +module trace:
trace:module:load_dll looking for L"C:\Lotus\wordpro\wordpro.exe" in L".;C:\windows\system32;C:\windows\system;C:\windows;C:\windows\system32;C:\windows;C:\windows\system32\wbem" trace:module:get_load_order looking for L"C:\Lotus\wordpro\wordpro.exe" trace:module:get_load_order got main exe default n,b for L"C:\Lotus\wordpro\wordpro.exe" trace:module:load_native_dll Trying native dll L"C:\Lotus\wordpro\wordpro.exe" trace:module:map_image mapped PE file at 0x400000-0x8fd000 trace:module:map_image mapping section .text at 0x401000 off 1000 size 438000 virt 437389 flags e0000020 trace:module:map_image mapping section .rdata at 0x839000 off 439000 size b2000 virt b1e53 flags 40000040 trace:module:map_image mapping section .data at 0x8eb000 off 4eb000 size 3000 virt a31c flags c0000040 trace:module:map_image mapping section .tls at 0x8f6000 off 4ee000 size 1000 virt c flags c0000040 warn:module:map_image Section .rsrc too large (4f7000+a000/4fd000) warn:module:load_dll Failed to load module L"C:\Lotus\wordpro\wordpro.exe"; status=c000007b wine: Bad EXE format for C:\Lotus\wordpro\wordpro.exe

--- Comment #1 from Mark K markk@clara.co.uk 2011-12-11 06:16:34 CST --- Some other executables in the SmartSuite demo also show the same problem; at least approach.exe, org5.exe and fastsite.exe.

I doubt these apps run on more recent Windows versions out of the box. If you search IBM forums for Lotus Smartsuite running on Windows 7 you get complaints. They say for Windows Vista and above you have to install and run these apps in "Windows XP compatibility" mode.
That means application shims are applied that alter operating system behaviour (loader, etc.) to allow undocumented stuff/hacks that worked in earlier Windows versions.

--- Comment #4 from Mark K markk@clara.co.uk 2011-12-18 10:15:49 CST --- I tested the SmartSuite demo under Windows 98SE and 2000.
Under Windows 2000, the same executables failed to load as with Wine: Working: 123w.exe, f32main.exe Not working: approach.exe, fastsite.exe, org5.exe, wordpro.exe
Under Windows 98 however, fastsite.exe does work. (approach.exe, org5.exe and wordpro.exe fail giving an out of memory message.)
The suitedemo.EXE file seems to be a self-extracting archive of the files on a SmartSuite demo CD. It seems something about it is broken; on googling for "smartsuite demo", a couple of results on the first page are forum postings mentioning the same problem.
Nonetheless, it might be worthwhile to investigate why fastsite.exe loads under Windows 98, but not later version of Windows or Wine.

--- Comment #5 from Anastasius Focht focht@gmx.net --- Hello folks,
since you verified all executables flagged by Wine loader as 'Bad EXE format' failing the same way on NT-based Windows versions it seems Wine's loader behaves as designed/specified.

All 'bad' executables have their PE IMAGE_OPTIONAL_HEADER.SizeOfImage value too small to fit last section. Looking at the compiler/linker signatures it seems the executables were created with Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0 ~1999. Such broken executables can't possibly work with modern NT based OS loaders.
You can 'repair' all broken executables by using PE tools like 'LordPE' which automatically adjusts the PE IMAGE_OPTIONAL_HEADER.SizeOfImage value to have the last section fit too.
