Apart from that, when I look at my WinXP system the entries are in: [HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders] So there is probably more to it. Cheers, Paul.

Segfault. Conformance Test/Patch in Cabinet.dll
by Rizwan Kassim 11 Mar '05

11 Mar '05

A follow up to the cabinet patch we released before hand. It works perfectly in windows/cl. When its in the wine tree, gcc doesn't like it as much. cabinet_fdi.c: In function `TestCreate': cabinet_fdi.c:263: warning: passing arg 3 of `FDICreate' from incompatible pointer type Running it = segfault. WINEDEBUG=+all wine dlls/cabinet/tests/cabinet_test.exe.so results in the attached debug trace, which doesn't help (me) much. Anyhow, point being, it works in Windows, dies in Wine, but I'm not sure that its a Wine error. Can anyone offer any suggestions/fixes? -- Thank you, Rizwan Kassim http://www.geekymedia.com - GPL code, How-To guides and more.

"The first creature we encountered (and this is the god's honest truth) was a Duck with a +4 hotdog cart. For some reason, we never found out why, this Duck's sole purpose in life was to go out around smasing his cart into adventurers until they agreed to buy a hotdog from him. Once doing so, you were prompty told to roll a save vs poison (food poisoning) or die."

Reporting "Unknown EXE OS version" and a non-functioning program
by Pavel Troller 11 Mar '05

11 Mar '05

Hi! Because my kids are obsessed by trains and everything about them, I've decided to download them a train simulation game. Because I refuse to use anything from M$ and I didn't find any train simulator for Linux, I've found and downloaded a free "miniature train simulator", available for download at http://jeanmichel.kerdal.free.fr/Train/train.zip . I've unzipped the package and tried to run the Install.exe file. But the only I get is patrol@arcus:~/train$ wine Install.exe fixme:ver:VERSION_GetLinkedDllVersion Unknown EXE OS version 4.0, please report !! fixme:ole:CoRegisterMessageFilter stub fixme:ole:OleLoadPictureEx (0x7f9bdd4c,326,0,{7bf80980-bf32-101a-8bbb-00aa00300cab},x=0,y=0,f=0,0x720dfb0c), partially implemented. fixme:ole:OLEPictureImpl_SaveAsFile (0x767bd768)->(0x767bffd0, 0, (nil)), hacked stub. The program then simply runs and waits fot the rain (or maybe train :-) ?) without any visible activity and should be killed. Normally I wouldn't report this because there is still a lot of programs which are incompatible with wine (oh these windows programmers... :-) ). But this one explicitly asked for reporting, so I'm just doing what it asked for :-). This is with a fresh wine CVS update, which reports itself as wine-20050310. With regards, Pavel Troller

winebrowser
by Steven Edwards 11 Mar '05

Hi, This is a port of the ReactOS Internet Browser to Wine. I will not have time to mess with it so I figured I would send it here if anyone was interested. Its just a small wrapper around the IE control so if you don't have IE installed then it will use Wines shdocvw.dll and the Mozilla ActiveX Control. My plan was to convert it to C and then have it be the fallback case in the event you did not have a Unix browser listed in your registry.

I don't think it's libel, but IANAL and I don't really know. I can't think of a good way to include the quote anywhere on the main page. Maybe it makes more sense starting off the "About" page? Or, even better, we (and by "we" I mean someone other than me) go through some of the articles printed about Wine in the past year and dig out about 5 - 10 really good quotes. Then we (and by "we" I mean Newman) figures out a way to randomly the select the quotes and display them on the main page. Then just include the Microsoft quote with them. I think that would be neat and it would advertise a lot more. In completely unrelated news, I've been meaning to send out something in the next few days reminding people to book hotel rooms for Wineconf. There is still space available - if they told you otherwise please double check. March 17th is the last date for reserving a room there. Also, I need to sit down and spend some time looking over agenda ideas. If you have any ideas at all, or want to present something cool, let me know. - Brian

Wine in the press

Title: Ham and Wine go well together Link: http://software.newsforge.com/software/05/03/02/1449240.shtml?tid=130 By: Joe Barr <snip> Everything I read said "this is what you want." But of course it isn't, because I don't run Windows. It was just about this time that the news about Microsoft blocking users running Wine from downloading updates and tools from their site began to spread. All the sudden I wondered -- if Wine is good enough to have Microsoft blocking it, could it run CwGet? </snip> All I have to say is "Thank You Microsoft" for the press :-) Tom

Where would I find the source code for this module ? I want to look at it to see if I can discover why it fails to open when using Noteworthy Composer. -- Andrew [hackcoughsniffle] Internal Virus Database corrupt

Re: server/protocol.def documentation

But since experienced wine hackers seem to figure this out anyway, there may be no need. --Juan __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Hi James, > ie why we use do...while(0) loops in SERVER_START_REQ This is a fairly common idiom in C macros. See here for an explanation: http://www.everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=1180050 Because it's a common trick, I'm not sure it's worth explaining. Describing at a high level what SERVER_START_REQ and SERVER_END_REQ do for the macro-phobic might be useful though. As far as documenting the server API, again I agree with you: it's a worthwhile task. There's even a todo list item for it assigned to Alexandre.. but I wouldn't hold my breath for him to provide something parseable by newbies. If you're starting to understand it, maybe writing it down would be a good idea. --Juan __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
