Summary: BartPE: crashes when trying to make "Build" Product: Wine Version: 1.1.41 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: lxandr@ua.fm

Created an attachment (id=26980) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=26980) terminal output

I launch "pebuilder.exe", everything goes fine. But when I press "Build" button after a few seconds (screenshot1) application crashes (screenshot2). Looks like there are some issues with registry creation, .inf files parsing functions, etc. Tested and didn't worked in any of these combinations: pebuilder 3.1.10a, 3.1.10; building PE from windows 2003 sp2, windows xp sp3. Wine is installed from http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-wine/ppa/ubuntu repository. A few Wine updates earlier the problem still existed.

BartPE can be downloaded from here: http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/#download

--- Comment #4 from Vitaliy Margolen vitaliy@kievinfo.com 2010-03-22 20:24:08 --- This software requires _real_ windows installation. Wine won't work. It does not have real windows kernel, nor most of the libraries required by BartPE.

I don't see the problem why this shouldn't be a legitimate Wine bug. BartPE uses Windows install media for building the image, AFAIK it doesn't rely on files/registry hives from already installed/running Windows OS.

The build tool seems to crash due to memory corruption - maybe bad error handling. One problem causing this could be the failure to mount registry hives (RegLoadKeyA/W -> NtLoadKey) when the file backing the hive doesn't exist.

MSDN states if the file containing the registry hive data doesn't exist, a (new) backing file is created with the specified name.

One problem causing this could be the failure to mount registry hives (RegLoadKeyA/W -> NtLoadKey) when the file backing the hive doesn't exist.

Exactly what I meant. It creates specific registry (which can't be done any other way other then using real windows). And AFAIK that wasn't nowhere in the chart to support binary windows' registry.

Back to invalid. Or would you prefer a won't fix?

Well, I missed the discussion then. Supporting such proprietary (officially undocumented) binary format has indeed questionable cost-benefit.

The NT binary registry hive format itself seems to be well documented in some places (libguestfs -> hivex (LGPL v2.1), ReactOS project most likely too, as they state "binary compatibility").

BartPE users might try ReactOS for Windows Live Boot/PE image creation - how ironic ;-) - and see if they get farther.

What remains here is to fix NtLoadKey. Even if Windows binary registry hive formats are not supported it should not fail at this point. It should be possible to start a new hive in Wine's own format.

--- Comment #14 from Vitaliy Margolen vitaliy@kievinfo.com 2010-03-24 20:37:30 --- Closing. The original topic (BartPE not working) won't get fixed in any way shape of form even if you implement separate registry hives. Unless they will be in exact system's binary format BartPE tries to create a bootable system of. And that won't happen.
