The patch works so that Shiva Editor and the 2 games start OK, thanks
Sebastian.
Now the problem is that they don't exit properly (freeze on exit) unless native
dinput or dinput8.dll is installed:
err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x7bce13e0 "loader.c:
loader_section" wait timed out in thread 003b, blocked by 0032, retrying (60
sec)

Could you check if this is due to the patch or a different issue that needs a
separate bug report, please?

Easy to test with Shiva Editor v1.9.x, because the app doesn't need other
native component to start up. After installation launch the editor with
ShiVa.exe and wait until the main user interface is fully loaded, then close
the app (either by closing the main window or via the main menu). It hangs on
exit. Native dinput.dll works around it.
Shiva Editor 1.9.2 download:

If you want to test with that Arvoch demo, the game needs native msvcr71, WMP10
plus native devenum and quartz installed to get to the main menu. Select <Exit>
in the main menu, click <Exit> again on the splash screen, then close the
reminder message. The game hangs up at this point and native dinput8.dll works
around that.
