James,
Here are updated patches for part 3 & 4 of my previous patch set. Tell me if you think I could submit them to wine-patches.
For patch 3, the only todo_wine is when launched from root drive dir as explained in my previous mail. For patch 4, I skip a test if test is executed on root drive dir, as it doesn't make sense to execute it in this case.
If needed I can remove the skip and change expected value to be first fixed drive when test is run on root drive dir. But this is already tested by patch 3 (when run on a root drive dir).
Did these work with WindowsXP or Windows Vista as expected? I don't have them here to test, only Wine.
I would defer the todo_wine to others with more experience, as this marks the tested function needs more work with Wine and my experience with msi is only as a user.

It worked as expected on Win2k and Wine. I can test it on WinXP if wanted, but I don't own any Vista. The todo_wine is to handle root drive directories where Windows output first fixed drive where Wine currently output an empty string as demonstrated on .
Fix seems to be simple. We just need to break the for loop after the GetDriveType test in ACTION_SearchDirectory function in appseach.c if path is only three characters long (attr should also be checked against INVALID_FILE_ATTRIBUTES just after it).
ACTION_CheckDirectory could perhaps be updated to handle root drive directories too, but I'm not certain with this one.
As I don't have any experience with msi at all even as user, I will certainly wait for someone to validate what I'm saying.
Thanks for review.

I would try it on XP as that is the default Windows we try to reproduce now.

Yep, that I do know about.

Simple fixes always turn out to be the most complex whenever I've dealt with them.

I agree. I don't know of any software package that should be installed to any root drive that would be handled by msi.
As I don't have any experience with msi at all even as user, I will certainly wait for someone to validate what I'm saying.
I do have experience using msi as the installer. In my experience, no program installed by me was to a root directory. However, some programs installed were run from the D:\ and C:. So, it may be a good idea to insure that Wine's msi can handle these cases.
Thanks for review
You are welcome. I hope that the root directory case can be corrected as well.

If test passes on WinXP, I will submit patches to wine-patches with a fix for msi. If something is wrong I will surely get feedback as it was the case for previous series.
This will only let rpcrt4 test as a failing test (crash) on my Win2k test platform (others are caused by the VM). I will run all tests on a root drive directory to see if I can find more failures, then switch to XP testing.
