I've run two conformance test binary (winetest-latest and winetest-8cbb8cc38d01) on Microsoft Windows Me 4.90.3000, both warned that Win9x was not supported, and I wouldn't be able to submit results. The lastest one said that there were about 67 tests failed (some wscript and msi error dialog appeared during the test) and it also said that there might be some problem with my configuration. [this one got 6451 line of "Test failed"] '8cbb8cc38d01' didn't say anything (and there was some regedit error dialog while testing). [this one got 788 line of "Test failed"] I've checked test.winehq.org and couldn't find any Win9x entry, both Wine wiki and developer guide topic on Conformance Test didn't say anything about what to do after testing, or how to report the results. So what should I do next?

Wine conformance tests no longer made to work on Win9x (which Win ME is). All errors you see on those platforms won't be fixed.

The tests are just a means to an end... do you have a real app that used to work, but doesn't anymore?

So I just need to specify in the report that the application breaks the same way on WinXP or not, so they will be able to keep that fixed behaviour out of NT/XP line, then make them available only when Win95/98/Me was selected in Winecfg? And if the app is working perfectly on WinXP without any compatibility mode (which most do worked), there's likely one less thing to worry, right?, because it might be the correct behaviour on WinXP/NT too.
