Hello Jeremy, Andi suggested I email you about my issues with uninstaller under mingw. The main unstaller window will render but be blank and then the program will crash when it gets to this line
/*---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- ** Handle requests just to list the programs
**---------------------------------------------------------------------- */ if (cmdline && strlen(cmdline) >= 6 && memcmp(cmdline, "--list", 6) == 0)
I have inserted debugging code at every line around this point but it never makes it to the next messagebox. Do you see anything that might explain it?
Thanks Steven

You know, that's not quite true... ;) I just said that AFAIK it was him who added that line. Ah well, nevermind.

We tried to use strncmp() instead (the theory was that memcmp wouldn't stop at \0, thus accessing invalid memory beyond the cmdline allocation limit). Didn't help a whole lot, though.
Steven: did you check whether cmdline contains a legitimate pointer at all ? (e.g. via IsBadReadPtr() or so...)

Ok so mabey I took it as you implying to go ask Jeremy. =)

No I didn't try that, as I don't really know the proper way to do it. I will do some reading tonight and give it a shot tonight.
Thanks Steven
