Hello
On my Suse 7.3 Linux (Kernel 2.4.4) I tried to start the w2k Explorer (Version 5.0 (Build 2195: Service Pack 3) using wine-20030115 with just buildin dlls.
tm@penguin:~/c/w2k > winedbg explorer Copied by hand from the winedbg window: 0011: sel=008f base=401145e0 limit=00000fff 32-bit rw-
Backtrace: =>0 0x400c3de5 (RaiseException+0x75(code=0xc06d007f, flags=0x0, nbargs=0x1, args=0x406b2df8) [except.c:84] in libntdll.dll.so) (ebp=406b2da8) 1 0x0040de7f (explorer.exe.EntryPoint+0xc8d7 in C:\w2k\explorer.exe) (ebp=406b2df0)
This seems to be an error in the wine exception handling. Is this right? What can be done about that?
No, it is not. It is a software exception raised by explorer itself (you can get the same effect by running Win98 explorer on Win2k). I have seen the same problem myself and managed to fix it, though I can't remember how. I have submitted quite a few patches specific to getting Win2k explorer running on Wine, but they haven't been accepted so far. For a start you could try --dll shlwapi=b and copying over the native shdocvw.dll and browseui.dll and running regsvr32 on them both. Try running with --dll ole32=b to see if it is a COM class that isn't registered and finally try using some of my shell32 and shlwapi patches :)
Hope this helps,
Rob
BTW I have got explorer loaded and displaying a folder but there are no items in the folder view apart from 'Desktop'. I am still trying to work out exactly why this is.
