Hi All,
I am attempting to run a native windows VB6 app (United Devices) in wine, fake windows, but I continue to encounter an unimplemented/unhandled API call "CreateRemoteThread" to kernel32 error with any and all RH distro kernels using any wine version. I was simply wondering if any engineer might be considering working on implementing this call anytime soon. I am in the process of filling a bug report in the hopes an engineer might be motivated to take it on. Here is what my investigation has shown to date regarding this function.
The function appears to be properly declared in winbase.h (wine version) as is the already implemented function 'CreateThread' along with the structure type SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES common to both calls. The kernel32.spec file exports show CreateRemoteThread apparently stubbed "@ stub CreateRemoteThread" but the implemented CreateThread shows "@ stdcall CreateThread (ptr long ptr long long ptr)".
I wish I knew C and patch submission procedure and would gladly volunteer to work on this one but I only know some VB and am attempting to code this call in a simple VB6 procedure to replicate the error and, if sucessful, will be happy to provide the exe and source to winehq if desired.
Any advice where I go from here as I want to dump win, get more hd space but I need this app?
Thanks, Roger
