So what I need now, is an exact string, which NT4.0 put to the OS envvar.
You was really close: OS=Windows_NT
Hi! Thanks, it's really what the program was checking for! Now the installation proceeded and even succeeded without a glitch! However, the installed program doesn't run :-(.
It requires to start the service first. The following occurs:
patrol@arcus:~/.wine/drive_c/SYSD$ wine Sysd.exe -1 -start
StartServiceCtrlDispatcher starting; This will take several seconds or more. Please wait. Use arg -help. err:advapi:service_control_dispatcher failed to create pipe, error = 0 StartService: the StartService function failed. SYSD Service 1. File not found (0x2) fixme:advapi:RegisterEventSourceA ((null),"SYSD"): stub fixme:advapi:RegisterEventSourceW (L"",L"SYSD"): stub fixme:advapi:ReportEventA (0xcafe4242,0x0001,0x0000,0x00000001,(nil),0x0001,0x00000000,0x7fc8fd14,(nil)): stub fixme:advapi:ReportEventW (0xcafe4242,0x0001,0x0000,0x00000001,(nil),0x0001,0x00000000,0x7ff6c970,(nil)): stub err:eventlog:ReportEventW L"CmdStartService: The StartService function failed." fixme:advapi:CloseEventLog (0xcafe4242) stub OpenService: patrol@arcus:~/.wine/drive_c/SYSD$
After the first err: from advapi (failed to create pipe), the program really waits for about a minute and then writes the rest in a quick row. Is there a chance it will run in wine in a near future ? May using native advapi for NT4.0 help ?
I'm also answering one of the former questions: No, the program cannot be downloaded from anywhere; it's a part of commercial software which is bought together with an EWSD telephone exchange.
Many thanks for Your support! With regards, Pavel Troller
