Thanks for sending the app to me. Of the many problems it seems to present, I'm starting with the first one: an error dialog during install. When it tries to run a couple subinstallers, it fails, and puts up a dialog box saying the directory is invalid. After a bit of looking, I am starting to suspect that ShellExecuteEx is being called by the installer with a quoted directory name, and Wine isn't handling that right. Here's a bit of log: dank@krunch:/C:/foo/bar_Installation$ grep -i Shell.*Execute log7.c 000e:Call shell32.ShellExecuteExA(0035f40c) ret=0041e5a4 000e:trace:exec:SHELL_execute mask=0x00000640 hwnd=0x1002c verb=L"open" file=L"C:\\foo\\bar_Installation\\InstMsiA.EXE" parm=L"" dir=L"\"C:\\foo\\bar_Installation" show=0x00000001 class=not used 000e:fixme:exec:SHELL_execute flags ignored: 0x00000400 000e:trace:exec:ShellExecute_FromContextMenu L"C:\\foo\\bar_Installation\\InstMsiA.EXE" 000e:trace:exec:ShellExecute_GetClassKey ext = L".EXE" 000e:trace:exec:ShellExecute_GetClassKey class = L"exefile" 000e:trace:exec:SHELL_execute execute:L"C:\\foo\\bar_Installation\\InstMsiA.EXE",L"",L"\"C:\\foo\\bar_Installation" 000e:trace:exec:SHELL_ExecuteW Execute L"C:\\foo\\bar_Installation\\InstMsiA.EXE" from directory L"\"C:\\foo\\bar_Installation" 000e:err:exec:SHELL_ExecuteW cannot set directory L"\"C:\\foo\\bar_Installation" 000e:trace:exec:SHELL_ExecuteW CreateProcess returned error 267 000e:trace:exec:SHELL_ExecuteW returning 11 The directory only has a quote mark at the beginning; this may be a bug in your installer, but if Windows' ShellExecute can handle that, Wine should be able to, too. My computer time is limited, or I'd add a testcase in shell32/tests/shlexec.c to check this. Maybe someone else can have a look. - Dan

The generic message sequence testing code needs to be factored into msg.c, but the specific tests need to stay in each control's test file. -- James Hawkins

calling _splitpath from cmd.exe, and 64 bit decimal formatting
by Ann & Jason Edmeades 17 Feb '07

17 Feb '07

Hello, Its been a while since I did any wine work so thought I'd fix some bugs in the cmd shell. I have come across a call which fails at compile time which I was interested in knowing the 'right' way to solve _splitpath appears to exist in ntdll, but none of the #includes I have tried pick it up. Stblib, for example, is just using the standard compiler one. Additionally looking at winefile it has just copied the implementation in, so why did it do that? Also, I wanted to sprintf using %I64d but again I believe we are ending up using the standard sprintf gcc library function which does not support it. Is there any easy way around this (its trivial functionality which can be left as a fixme if not). Jason

When I try and run it, it tells me I need Pixel Shader 2.0 support. I have UseGLSL set to enabled and OffscreenRenderMode set to fbo, and the Pixel Shader 2 test in 3DMark03 works fine. ___________________________________________________________ New Yahoo!

We need a new version numbering scheme
by Scot Hetzel 16 Feb '07

16 Feb '07

I read about users confusion with wine version numbering scheme. Personally, I would redirect these confused users to the wiki page at wikipedia where it discusses what the numbers mean in a software version numbering scheme. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_version The MAME project had the same user confusion when it went from 0.99 to 0.100. Several of the users of MAME had expected the next version to be 1.00. Scot -- DISCLAIMER: No electrons were mamed while sending this message. Only slightly bruised.

Re: Wine and menu integration

Hi David, Sounds great! To submit those files, you need to make a patch ... git can do this but I don't remember the exact command to use (depends on your setup also). Or you can do it the old fashioned way using diff directly. Feel free to ask if you'd like more guidance with this. Once you have a patch, email it to wine-patches(a)winehq.org so Alexandre and the others can review it, suggest improvements etc. Good luck!

We need a new version numbering scheme
by Scott Ritchie 16 Feb '07

16 Feb '07

On several occasions I have received emails referring to Wine version 0.9.3. One person even told me about a regression from 0.9.28 to 0.9.3. Presumably, this version is being confused with Wine 0.9.30 in these letters, however I have been unable to tell whether people were ACTUALLY using 0.9.3 or were instead simply referring to 0.9.30 in the intuitive way of chopping off the last 0. Either way, version numbers should be completely clear, and they're not currently. I'm not quite sure what to do at this point. Thanks, Scott Ritchie

git question
by Joris Huizer 16 Feb '07

16 Feb '07

Hello, As a new wine is released I'm trying to get updated. Before I had used git for generating patches, I could do: git fetch; git rebase origin however, now this doesn't seem to pickup anything. How should I tell git to actually update to the files on the server? Thanks, Joris ____________________________________________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
