Hi all, When I try to install ie everything appears to run fine until reboot time. Then I get an "NT Shutdown: ExitWindowsEx error" which pops up. If I click OK and run wineboot no more errors appear. However ie is still not installed. If I run the setup again then it goes very quickly to the reboot screen and the process begins again. Can anyone help me out here? I am clueless. Kind regards Andrew Higgs

I am clueless.Hmm, msdn documentation and Wine are not the same here. If you compile yourself, open the file ./windows/user.c in your editor and go to the function ExitWindowsEx(). The last lines are: | HeapFree( GetProcessHeap(), 0, list ); | | if (result) ExitKernel16(); | return FALSE; | } | This is around line nr. 333. Change the FALSE into TRUE and recompile. Report what difference that makes. Rein. -- Rein Klazes rklazes@xs4all.nl
