My wine conf is set to win98 and those are the error msgs I get. According to MS VS6 documentation, CreateRemoteThread() is supported with win 98 and newer versions even though most believe it is NT/2000 only. Only the "lpSecurityDescriptor" of the SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES structure is ignored by non window NT OS's.
Can you compare it to info given by this page: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dllproc/bas...
That sounds at least strange for me. Times ago I would have been thanking god for being able to call CreateRemoteThread() on my win98se box. Just I was unable to "find" it inside kernel32.dll here then. :-/
Albeit coincidental, United Devices states the agent will not work with win95 and earlier versions, and this call is only win98 and newer.
Yeah, I've noticed that. Still, this req. sounds too artificially for me. And I am afraid UD Agent will run even with Wine version set to win31. ;-)

Yes, http://members.toast.net/obc (near the bottom) I linked to two pages out of my VS6 (patched to SP6) app help file (converted to html) describing the call and the structure. It's interesting that the VS6 help would indicate CRT() suported in win98 in contradiction to the MSDN compatibility inferences. Now I'm snowed :-).

I am going to attempt, with my very limited program abilities, write and compile a hopefully simple VB6 app to call this function but, given my learning curve, it may take me awhile. Whether it works or not will at least let us know which MS document is most correct and post back results. If you have the time and inclination, perhaps you could do it much faster than me. Since the United Devices agent is also written in VB6, it will give me the ability to test the new app in wine to determine once and for all if CRT() is the true cause of UD not processing any data when started.

I hadn't thought of that as I know the agent will not "install" with win95 or earlier but might run on earlier versions. Will give it a try later today and post results.
Thanks, Roger
