advpack.dll

[Steven Edwards]

Hello,
I guess the message is directed at James. I am going to merge our
implementation of advpack.dll with the current winehq implementation.
Any objections or suggestions?
Thanks
Steven

OOOHHH! NOOOO!
Wine needs to rewrite their implementation. It links in from setupapi and
stuff, which is all wrong. I was so surprised Alexandre allowing it. Advpack
imports User32, GDI32, Kernel32, Advapi32, Ole32 and Version. What I need is
to get Ole32 and the rest running. But,,,,well?
The best thing to do (this was what I was fix'en to do), take wine code and
rewrite it for our version of Advpack so it would be independent of other
dlls.
Well, let me know, noth'en is in stone, Thanks,
James

I did a quick a dirty hack where I imported some of the functions you
have implemented and stubbed others in Winehq as the current Winehq
advpack implementation does not allow Internet Explorer to be
installed.
Later today or tommrrow I'll send you my dirty hack and then maybe you
can point me in the direction we need to take to develop a shared
implementation.
Thanks
Steven

Here is the hybrid of parts of your implementation and Wines plus a few
stubs. With this I am able to install most apps again on Linux.
Thanks

Okay~ Go ahead and send changes to wine, and don't forget to add your name
to the copyright thing'y too.
I'll rewrite wine code into our Advpack. Wine uses wide char and the real
deal uses ascii char's. I guess they (Wine) don't know Advpack is a application
dll.
Thanks,
James
