First of all, pardon my ignorance, I am new to wine and winapi.

I am trying to implement apphelp.dll and I ran into issues with NtCreateFile: It always returns 0xc0000103, STATUS_NOT_A_DIRECTORY, and I am not sure what that means. Here is code:

/* This function is not in API, but written for internal use */

HANDLE WINAPI SdbOpenFile( LPCWSTR path, PATH_TYPE type )

{

/* SNIP */

if (type == DOS_PATH)

if (!RtlDosPathNameToNtPathName_U(path, &str, NULL, NULL))

return NULL;

InitializeObjectAttributes(&attr, &str, OBJ_CASE_INSENSITIVE, NULL, NULL);

status = NtCreateFile(&file, GENERIC_READ | SYNCHRONIZE | FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES,

         &attr, &io, NULL, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, FILE_SHARE_READ,

         FILE_OPEN, FILE_DIRECTORY_FILE, NULL, 0);

/* SNIP */

return file;

}

Function is called like this:

WCHAR szFileName[1024] = {0};

ExpandEnvironmentStringsW(L"%SystemRoot%\\sample.sdb", szFileName, 1024); // for testing purposes

SdbOpenFile(szFileName, DOS_PATH);

Compiled with winegcc.

I am sure that C:\windows\sample.sdb exists. What am I doing wrong?
