Please provide more information: how are you running gametap? what game are you
trying to play with it? What errors did you get? (do not paste logs, attach
them)

Cdr4_2K.sys and Cdralw2k.sys are cd-rom recording software driver helpers. Why
would this game install such things? I really doubt this part will work on Wine
any time soon if ever.

Setting to enhancement.

I don't think they're are installed by this game, but by another app this user
instyalled previously

@reporter_of_this_bug: Could you please install this game on a completely fresh
~/.wine (move away your old one) and report back please?

hmm, no response from reporter so i'll just share my experiences with this app:

it doesn't crash here, it just pops up a messagebox that i have no sound card.
Fortunately the app itsself generates very useful crashinfo, and was able to
work around that by adding a registry key
[HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\PCI]

After that the fun was over, because it now popped up a messagebox that the
videodriver failed to initialize, and from the crash info of the app, it said
that my card didn't support pbuffers. I hacked a bit around in
wglgetprocaddress, to fool the application , and got a tiny bit further, but
then crashed again. Could someone with a more advanced videocard than mine try
this?

Ok, i got the login window up now, but i don't have an account, so i cannot
test any further. This seems to be a dsound bug and there's a regression as
well.

By using native dsound, or move away all files from
local/assets_light/soundfx/* the crash is gone, but then only a white window
shows up:
err:wgl:X11DRV_wglShareLists Could not share display lists, context already
created !
fixme:wgl:X11DRV_wglGetSwapIntervalEXT (),stub!
fixme:wgl:X11DRV_wglGetSwapIntervalEXT (),stub!

By reverting back to wine-0.9.22 the login window comes up fine

Sigh, there's yet another regression that prevents gametap from connecting to
the server. I'll try track down that as well.

The opengl regression is between 0.9.42/0.9.46

3 reverted patches

So found yet another regression that causes gametap to crash after logging in.
It's caused by
http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-cvs/2007-November/038059.html

The attached patch reverts 3 patches, and makes gametap happy entering the menu
after logging in. All menus seem to work fine, but i was not (yet?) able to
start a game; when i try start a free game nothing really happens. Will try to
find out later if i can find the cause...

In 1.1.10, needs wmp9. Then, crashes on a bunch of missing ntoskrnl.exe
functions, as well as a missing soundcard :-?

Soundcard is fixed by:
"Create registry key [HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\PCI]
(otherwise no soundcard detected)"

I've attached a console log from the latest gametap client as of this date,
running wine 1.1.14.

BTW, forgot to mention.  The backtraces on the original log in this error are
cause by drivers installed by WMP9.  Please disregard if you knew this already.
 Only reason I mention it is because I didn't see a comment that touched on it.

That IOCTL seems like AcceptEx. Try the patch from the acceptex bug (bug 9787).

I don't have a subscription to gametap but browsing the web site I saw no
reference to this software. Maybe they don't use it anymore, which I guess is
what the link in comment 16 was referring to (url now points to an ad and I
would suggest to remove it).

If no one knows better, I would suggest to close this bug since the software
(appears) gone.

Hello,

updating some fields...
I agree with previous commenters.
The installer seems to require internet connectivity (server side services) to
work.
This is now defunct/abandoned, making any attempts to get this to work
pointless.

$ sha1sum gametap_setup.exe 
2275748ec924695e20f3d5c43985b6de94a9a138  gametap_setup.exe
