smbsetup.cmd

As a temporary solution we could try creating a usable installer for this build of samba and offer to download it with rapps.

 May be it is better to temporarily add Samba itself to ReactOS? It is not that simple to install it for average user.

 I suggest add it at least as downloadable module, the same way we do with gecko

 Is Samuel actually still actively working on NTLM? I thought that branch of his was pretty old. Might be something to consider a dev contract for.

 Hello everyone,

 Today I was finally able to finish the installation of Office 2010 in
 ReactOS, using as a temporary measure the Wine’s NTLM layer that calls into
 the ntlm_auth utility of Samba. This was done while Samuel is completing his
 NTLM implementation.
 As this wine layer is here running on ReactOS, few modifications were
 needed, and I also needed to find a Windows build of Samba. I’ve found one,
 by chance, at http://smithii.com/samba . Then, using ReactOS revision 73868
 (or later), and using this version of Samba, the Office installation
 finishes (reminder: the problem was due to the fact the installer needed
 NTLM to communicate with the “Office Software Platform Service”,
 OSPPSVC.EXE). We are now able to use Excel, Word, … on ReactOS, as shown in
 this picture:
 http://i.imgur.com/fLEwoVI.png

 There are now 2 main problems:
 - NTLM should be correctly implemented;
 - There are an awful lot of drawing problems with Office 2010 applications
 (similar to those of Office 2007 apps): for example, dragging the graph
 downwards shows his frame going upwards; there are many black regions that
 show up, etc...: It seems we have problems in coordinate frames. And other
 problems too. Also, we have some mouse capture problems: if you try to
 redimension the windows the normal way (bring mouse cursor on top of the
 border, left-click-maintained, move mouse, release left button), and then
 move the mouse inside the window, it continues to be redimensioned...
 As a result, I took ~=15 minutes to make this simple trivial picture above,
 almost all the time taken to fight against window dimensioning & the drawing
 problems.

 But anyways, enjoy !

 This will be part of my next blog report.

 Cheers,
 Hermès
