[Bug 29529] New: Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder: Cannot load Hive, says "path not found".

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29529

Bug #: 29529
           Summary: Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder: Cannot load Hive, says
                    "path not found".
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.3.35
          Platform: x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]
    Classification: Unclassified

Simply run Magical Jelly Bean keyfinder in Wine 1.3.35 (or any version before
that, I'm pretty sure), and try to load a hive (A hive is a binary file that
Windows uses to store registry keys, as opposed to a text file such as a *.reg
file containing registry keys in ASCII text.). It won't work. This is using
Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder version 2.0.8.

Click on tools, and then go to "Load Hive..." An error message pops up saying
"Can't load registry hive from: ...
Path not found"

No terminal output.

The goal is to get Keyfinder to load /WINDOWS/System32/config/SOFTWARE.

Note: when you tell it to load a hive, it automatically appends
system32\config\software to the path you give. So if you tell it to load
~\windows\system32\config, it will look for
~\windows\system32\config\system32\config\software (which doesn't exist, or at
least shouldn't).

I have tried copying the config folder to the desktop and renaming everything
in the path to be all lowercase (the error message prints the path in all
lowercase, so I thought that might help it.), doesn't help.

Cheers,
Jake

Wine does not support native binary registry hives. And there are no plans to
support it in the future.

When you're running a real windows there is a folder called repair which
contains the backup of the registry hive. To get past the NOT FOUND error you
need to have both "system32\config\software" and a backup in "repair\software".
But that will only make it go a bit further and say "privledge not held". I'm
not sure what debug channels can be used to debug that. IMO the application is
able to work in wine if it gets past that error. The application simply opens
the binary file and reads it.

I upgraded to Wine 1.3.37. Now when I run the Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder, I
get a pop-up with the error "Range check error." when the program first starts
up. The program window doesn't appear until I click "OK" to the error pop-up.

When I click "Microsoft Windows XP" in the left pane, that message appears
again. It doesn't show anything in the right pane for clicking "Microsoft
Windows XP". In 1.3.36, this was not the case. See the "Windows Info"
screenshot: http://appdb.winehq.org/screenshots.php?iAppId=13809&iVersionId= .

And Bruno Jesus, where exactly is this repair folder? In Linux, I made a folder
named "repair" in System32 and put a copy of SOFTWARE (the hive file) in there.
That didn't make the keyfinder any happier. I also tried moving the folder
right into the WINDOWS folder. I also put it in the config folder. Same
results. I didn't see any repair folders anywhere until I made one. I do have a
RegBack folder, though. So did you personally get past the "Hive load failed."
message? How exactly did you do it?

My bad, Bruno Jesus. You said how to get past the "not found" error, not the
"Hive load failed." I'm running 1.3.37 now, and so far I haven't gotten a "not
found" error. I'm getting "Hive load failed.", even when I copy the SOFTWARE
file to my desktop and then tuck it into a "Windows" folder and then a
"System32" folder and then a "config" folder (so that the Windows folder I
select is on my desktop in Linux).

I suppose this bug is technically solved. It doesn't yield "path not found" any
more. The error is just replaced with another one: "Hive load failed." Before
this bug gets marked as "solved", let's see what other people think about it
(i.e, does this count as "solved"?). I would think so. It looks like we have a
new separate bug now.

--- Comment #6 from Bruno Jesus  2012-01-22 17:33:38 CST ---
What I mean is that the path not found error is not only related to
c:\windows\system32\config\software but also to c:\windows\repair\software
(which is a backup).

If you have only one of them the program will say path not found, as stated in
your first comment.

--- Comment #7 from Jake Thomas  2012-01-22 17:44:12 CST ---
Well, my Windows side doesn't have such a backup, (no repair folder in the
Windows folder, except when I put one there), and whether it's there or not, in
1.3.37, Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder says "Hive load failed.", which seems to
imply that it finds it just fine, but then can't load it. So I think the "path
not found" bug is behind us for now.

Wine 1.3.37. It's new to me (didn't see it happen in any previous Wine

The application works as before here. Retry in a new wineprefix. Also I don't
have that range check error. The screenshot I would like is from the registry
hive load error.

Error comes up everytime "Microsoft Windows [version]" is selected in left
pane.

Note that this isn't any different that the initial error pop-up on launch. On
launch, by default, it selects "Microsoft Windows [version]" in the left pane.
So it makes sense that it gives the error on launch too.

It's just that on launch, the main window doesn't appear until you say "OK" to
the pop-up. Whereas later, when you select "Windows" in the left pane, the
window is already loaded, so you see both the main window and the error.

Yep. Same behavior as you report with version 2.0.8. I got too excited to test
the Magical Jellybean Keyfinder with the new Wine version and didn't notice
that I was using an older version of Keyfinder. Good catch, Bruno Jesus.
Thanks.

Still says "path not found" and I don't get the "Range Check Error." Either.
And is successfully gets Windows Information.

I really missed that one.

--- Comment #22 from Bruno Jesus  2012-01-22 18:28:52 CST ---
So, to reach the same error I'm now you have to create the
\windows\repair\software. If you run with WINEDEBUG=+file you will notice these
lines:

trace:file:wine_nt_to_unix_file_name
L"\??\C:\as\windows\system32\config\software"
-> "/tmp/LKK/dosdevices/c:/as/windows/system32/config/SOFTWARE"

trace:file:wine_nt_to_unix_file_name L"\??\C:\as\windows\repair\software"
-> "/tmp/LKK/dosdevices/c:/as/windows/repair/SOFTWARE"

The application is now checking for both files. The message should say:
Privledge not held.

Maybe the problem is how to run wine as administrator to get past this
privledge error.

Ok. I had a second bone-head moment. I had my Windows partition mounted to a
folder named "windows". I have been selecting that instead of the Windows
folder in the Windows folder. Now that I figured out I was doing that and
corrected my method, I get the "privilege not held" error like you.

Thanks again,

I remember reading on the forums, I think it might have been James McKenzie
that said this (a Wine dev), that all programs ran in Wine are supposed to
think they are running with admin rights.

I still get "privilege not held" when I make a Windows folder on my desktop in
Linux and put a repair folder and a System32 folder in that Windows folder.
Then I put a copy of SOFTWARE in the repair folder and put a config folder in
the System32 folder. Then I put a copy of SOFTWARE in the config folder.

Yeah, didn't work. I thought it might have privileges to my desktop, given that
I am running Wine as my user.

And in delayed response to Vitaliy Margolen's comment:

It is possible for a program to have it's own binary-file-reading code, as
opposed on depending on operating-system-provided APIs.

I know this because the MiTec Registry Viewer can actually view Windows hive
files in Wine (like RegEdit). So if Vitaliy Margolen is saying that Wine
doesn't have those APIs, that must be how that program is able to do that.

I think I went through about 13 different registry browsing programs before I
found one that works in Wine (that can load a hive). Now I know why. Most
depend on those APIs. At least I'm guessing that that is the reason.

But the MiTec Registry Viewer can't edit the registry. It can only browse it.
But if coupled with chntpw (a Linux-native CLI Windows registry editor), you
have a powerful pair, because last time I used chntpw, it lacks tree viewing
functionality, and is poor as a browser. But the two make a complete unit.

Hey - I have a question. Bruno Jesus, are you using a GUI other than Gnome? Or
anyone out there? I have a question that I can't answer because I only have
Gnome (and have been too lazy to make a VM with something other than Gnome to
try it out). It's about Wine, the GUI, and the Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder:

Bruno Jesus, thank you for getting back on my GUI question at the forum. That's
one less potential Wine bug. I'll have to play around with that Nirsoft program
myself and take a peak.
