Summary: Some entries from wine.inf not transferred into
registry
Product: Wine
Version: 1.1.33
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: P2
Component: tools
AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
ReportedBy: hoehle at users.sourceforge.net
Hi,
The wine.inf mechanisms are unknown to me, but I naively expect the entries
therein to help create the registry. So I'm wondering why a few are missing.
I've already observed random missing entries in the past (e.g. the NT hotfix
Q246009). Here I'm on a Mac, but I've seen this bug on Linux as well.
While wine.inf contains
HKLM,HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\PARALLEL PORTS,,,""
HKLM,HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\SERIALCOMM,,,""
a diff against a newly created .wine gives:
diff -r .wine-git/system.reg .wine/system.reg
< [Hardware\\DEVICEMAP\\PARALLEL PORTS] 1251580439
< @=""
<
< [Hardware\\DEVICEMAP\\SERIALCOMM] 1251580439
< @=""
as well as missing Hardware\Description\... which I believe are generated upon
startup.
and, BTW
Only in .wine-git/drive_c/windows/system32: ddeml.dll
Only in .wine-git/drive_c/windows/system32/spool/drivers: w32x86
Only in .wine-git/drive_c/windows/system32/spool/drivers: win40
the last two I don't know anything about.
The missing ddeml.dll is surprising, given that Wine ballooned recently and
threw many many libraries into windows/system32/. Now ddeml would be missing?
IIRC, registry entries were particularly missing when Wine threw an error upon
startup:
err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x7bc8d404 "loader.c:
loader_section" wait timed out in thread 0021, blocked by 0009, retrying (60
sec)
AJ improved the situation a few releases ago, but the error never disappeared
entirely (neither on Linux nor Mac). It still appears for both new .wine
prefixes *and* updates. Ok, I should post that separately.
