--- Comment #11 from Reece Dunn msclrhd@gmail.com 2008-04-20 18:08:14 --- I am using wine 0.9.50 built and running on Ubuntu 7.10. I have cleaned out my ~/.wine directory and installed an Oberon game (The Tuttles Madcap Misadventures). This is what I have found:
1. Install the game. 2. Run launch.exe. 3. Run the gecko installer when prompted.
I get a blank (white) page at this point.
4. Copy shlwapi from your Windows machine/partition (I used an up-to-date Windows XP version). 5. Set the shlwapi library to be a native override in winecfg. 6. Run launch.exe.
The content of the window is now displayed correctly.
7. Change shlwapi back to the builtin Wine version (this will produce the original results). 8. Revert Jacek's patch.
NOTE: Using git apply --reverse fddd703.diff does not work (the patch no longer applies). Therefore, I manually did this:
- if((dwFlags & URL_FILE_USE_PATHURL) && nByteLen >= sizeof(wszFile) - && !memcmp(wszFile, pszUrl, sizeof(wszFile))) - slash = '\'; + if(dwFlags & URL_FILE_USE_PATHURL) + slash = '\';
to reproduce the effect that reverting the patch would have.
9. Run make to build the new Wine tree. 10. Run launch.exe.
I get a blank (white) page at this point.
Therefore, it looks like this patch is not the issue. Either that, or there is another issue that needs fixing as well.
