[Bug 32201] New: Unclosed quotes in .inf files are tolerated by windows, not by wine

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32201

Bug #: 32201
           Summary: Unclosed quotes in .inf files are tolerated by
                    windows, not by wine
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.5.17
          Platform: x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: setupapi
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]
    Classification: Unclassified

My company develop a product that contains an ActiveX control. I have been
experimenting with the new ActiveX auto-install feature.

The INF file contains the line:

signature="$CHICAGO$

instead of

signature="$CHICAGO$"

Clearly this is a mistake which we will correct soon. However, windows
tolerates this, wine does not. A message box with the text "Installation of
component failed: 800f0100" is shown.

Is this still an issue in current (1.7.35 or newer) wine? If so, please attach
terminal output.

No, the issue is still there. If I load the web-page with the ActiveX control,
it makes the same error.

This error is printed on the console:

fixme:urlmon:install_inf_file [Add.Code] section not supported

and "Installation of component failed: 800f0100" is still shown.

However since 2012, in wine iexplore, the web page at least gets to the point
of loading the activex, rather than me having to do it manually or with native
IE, so kudos for that achievement guys.

Can you share how to test this? The URL that triggers the issue and steps to
reproduce would help getting the bug fixed.

Ahh wait, this problem has now been fixed in our product. So I still get the
same error, but for the [Add.Code] section. Not the CHICAGO thing.

I can't tell if wine has fixed this issue using our product any more.

My other issue - the [Add.Code] issue is being tracked in #32202.

This issue with the close-quote is hard to reproduce because it has now been
fixed in our product. I also can't really give you guys links on this public
forum because these products are either owned by my company or the customer,
and are not guaruanteed to be present long term, and are not something I feel
comfortable publishing here. However, if anyone wants to work on this, they can
e-mail me privately and I can provide login details.

But... like I say, the issue is now fixed in our product, so I think this issue
would be best tracked with a test case. It should be pretty simple to produce
such a thing. I don't mind doing it myself, though it might take me a while to
get it done. I'm rather busy with many other FOSS projects these days.

Does the bug still occur with wine-8.7?
