With latest git (1.1.22) and a clean, non-hacked wineprefix, I am able to load
the game properly. I use the 1.7 retail version.

The bug was for the demo...It crashes X for me on Nvidia, so I can't test.

Confirming the bug still exists.  The app doesn't crash, it exits silently.

Here's an awful hack that makes it start for me. Does the demo actually work on
current Windows versions?

With Windows 7, I have to run the game in XP SP3 compatibility mode for it to
run. Testing your hack in a moment..

Wine 1.7.15

Demo seems to be multiplayer only, cant find servers, but does anyone even play
this anymore??

Can someone confirm?

Hello folks,

confirming XP+ behaviour.

Like other Bullfrog games, DKII is broken for XP+ systems and therefore needs
compat mode with multiple app shims/tweaks applied.
Search for "Dungeon Keeper 2: How to run under XP/Vista/Win7" and you get some
howtos (run in compat mode, tweak some settings).

The game uses different code paths for Win9X and NT systems in several places
so the point of failure was not obvious.

The reason why Henri's hack works is most likely this trace log snippet.

RegQueryValueExA() requires KEY_QUERY_VALUE rights.
Some 'genius' passed zero 'samDesired' to RegOpenKeyExA() which obviously can't
work.
The follow-up RegOpenKeyA() and RegOpenKeyExA() calls are meaningless, there is
no way to produce a 'success' result after the first failure.

The compat mode probably enables a specific VirtualRegistry fix/shim which just
works around this broken code, getting it onto the right code path again.
Unfortunately you won't get this demo run in Windows XP/7 with compat mode
because the shims filter for production executables signatures to apply shims
to (and not demos).

Hello Jeremie,

well, currently there are very few bugs related to appcompat shims topic. Few
pre-XP legacy apps/games that are end-of-life. I think it's fine to keep them
open for the time being. It would have been different if these apps/games
ceased working on Windows XP+ as well.
