Hi, I'm trying to install the game "Aquanox" under Wine which needs DirectX 8.0. I've found a mail in the wine mailing list archive stating that wine already includes DirectX, but Aquanox keeps complaining about a missing d3d8.dll. Trying to install DirectX 8.0, I end up with "DirectX couldn't be installed on this computer". Any hints on this one? Sebastian --

Does anyone have any ideas as to why my application always crashes on calls to "kernel32.GetCurrentThreadId()"? Every time I call GCTID I get: - a call to UnhandledExceptionFilter() - producing an "Unhanded privileged instruction at address 0x40112584" message box (which I've never seen popup, I only know it happens because I'm reading the --debugmsg +relay output.)

Hi!

Hi folks, I've been trying to get WINE to run on my new mandrake 8.0 box for _four_ _months_. Every version of WINE gives me: err:dosfs:DRIVE_ReadSuperblock The filesystem is not FAT !! (device=/dev/hda1) when I try to run an app that opens/closes files (e.g. notepad.exe). Software that doesn't use files runs fine (calc.exe) I can read/write to the partition /dev/hda1 just fine...

Hi, the current version of FreeBSD (5.0) has a common header which defines struct thread, so there will be an redefinition and nothing works. I think you shall rename your stuff from thread.h to something like wine_thread to get out of this trouble. Jan

Hello, Have solved all my problems with WINE, but one, which seems harder ;-) I have to run a little proggie "filesign.exe", and the lil bastartd relies heavily on advapi32.dll crypto stuff, (CryptAcquireContextA(), for example). From what I read on the code (dlls/advapi32/crypt.c), most of this functions are stubs, so no luck (it crashes all over with the return FALSEs) So, I tried

Hi there, for an application (which is only available on windows) I need to have the MS Virutal machine, which is supplied with IE4 SP3 and more, so I downloaded IE 5.0 and tried to install it. I think the main problem is, that I am new to wine and maybe my problem isn't really a problem.... If I run "wine --debugmsg +warn IE5Setup.exe" the assistant starts and after that crashes

I find that I can't run 16-bit apps because of a problem with user.dll. Here is an example.

I'm curious about this. I'm trying to reverse-engineer a really neato-device that hooks up to the serial port and has Windows software. I've figured out the protocol the device sends; I'm just not sure how the device is initialized. So I'd love to capture the Windows software doing the dirty deed.. and WINE is IMHO just the tool. So, question is: How do you capture serial
