wine users - Jul 2009 - program fails to enumerate COM ports

Hi. LG PC Sync can work with ~/.wine/dosdevices/com1 but fails to enumerate com
ports. I cannot select port other than COM1 and the combo box that would allow
me to do that is blank.

I did:
# ln -s /dev/ttyACM0 ~/.wine/dosdevices/com5
# sudo chmod g+rw,o+rw /dev/ttyACM0

and added to registry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Hardware\DEVICEMAP\SERIALCOMM]

"COM5"="COM5"


env WINEDEBUG=+reg wine "C:\Program Files\LGGSM\LGPCSync\LGPCSync.exe"
&
then open "options" dialog:

Code:

trace:reg:NtOpenKey
(0x28,L"System\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\DeviceClasses",20019,0x32e1a4)
trace:reg:NtOpenKey <- (nil)
trace:reg:NtOpenKey
(0x28,L"SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Services\\Modem\\Enum",20019,0x32e51c)
trace:reg:NtOpenKey <- (nil)




If you create "DeviceClasses" then it scans 2 keys inside:
{4D36E978-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
{86E0D1E0-8089-11D0-9CE4-08003E301F73}
I don't know what to put there

wine-1.1.25

These are both GUIDs for comports. They have something like this under them:

Code:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\DeviceClasses\{86e0d1e0-8089-11d0-9ce4-08003e301f73}]

[..\##?#ACPI#PNP0501#1#{86e0d1e0-8089-11d0-9ce4-08003e301f73}]
"DeviceInstance"="ACPI\\PNP0501\\1"

[..\##?#ACPI#PNP0501#1#{86e0d1e0-8089-11d0-9ce4-08003e301f73}\#]
"SymbolicLink"="\\\\?\\ACPI#PNP0501#1#{86e0d1e0-8089-11d0-9ce4-08003e301f73}"

[..\##?#ACPI#PNP0501#1#{86e0d1e0-8089-11d0-9ce4-08003e301f73}\#\Control]
"Linked"=dword:00000001

[..\##?#ACPI#PNP0501#1#{86e0d1e0-8089-11d0-9ce4-08003e301f73}\Control]
"ReferenceCount"=dword:00000001



Same for the other GUID. Dunno if it will help or not. None of these link to the
COM? names. So it might try to open the strange device names...

My installation finds all my six installed COM ports (COM1/2 on the
mobo, COM2-6 on a PCI card. 

OS:                fully patched Fedora 8
WINE:              1.1.9
Prog:              EW Windows Uploader
Windows version:   Win 98

.wine/dosdevices contains: c:  d:  e::  f:  f::  g:  g::  h::

This version of WINE has never been able to see USB-to-serial adapters.

The uploader talks to a specialised gliding flight recorder to download
flight logs, clear memory, set the date, etc.

Martin, do you have anything here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Hardware\DEVICEMAP\SERIALCOMM
or
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\DeviceClasses\{86e0d1e0-8089-11d0-9ce4-08003e301f73}
?

I guess there are several ways for a program to detect com ports. Some don't
work under wine though.
For example, I launched hyperterm from XP and it showed me the ports I manually
added to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Hardware\DEVICEMAP\SERIALCOMM, but it crushes when
SERIALCOMM key is empty

I wonder whether LG PC Sync uses some windows API or scans the registry itself.
When less busy, will try to recreate all the needed keys.
