Hi, I have some serious problems with the installer in Bochs (v2.1).
I've created a 500M hd image, and started installation from the ISO-Image with
32M ram. The installer created a partition and formatted it without any
problems. However, the installation hangs then, usually during "Building the
file copy list...", sometimes also later, after having copied about half of
the files.
With 64M ram, the installation finishes successfully, but after rebooting,
freeldr complains about missing "ntoskrnl.exe". Investigation with mtools
shows, that during the installation the files are copied onto the harddrive
correctly, but after the importing of the registry, they are somehow removed,
and explorer.exe and regedit.exe appear directly in c:\reactos instead of bin
or system32.

The latest commits fix ALOT of focusing issues, i must say NIIICE. I
still can't click browse on the Run dialog without a lockup, nor can i
open an explorer window, nore can i navigate the drives in the start
menu, but window focusing issues are fixed, and explorer is beginning to
act a bit less off the wall. Nice job!
I'd like to make some suggestions for ROS 0.3 support (i actually plan
to be more active in the coming months for the project, so i intend to
help out with these quite a bit)
- Working Menus
- Remaining painting glitches squashed
- Mozilla Firebird/Thunderbird working (tcp support? need a tcp stack)
- More stable.
- Better driver compatibility.
- Bug fixes in the controls, like the edit control, etc.
Well, anyways, time to rest,
Richard
I tested the installation of Winzip from Reactos command prompt
C:\Reactos> but The WINZIP 8.0 installation failed.
First a message box is displayed "WINZIP 8.0 Setup" and then I click on
SETUP Button
Unzipping files messages are displayed inside this message box..
A 2nd message box "Winzip self Extractor" is displayed with the content
"Error on running command .\SETUP .
Some DebugPort messages are output that I could forwared if needed.
I understood that earlier some testing has been done but I don'recall if
it was 100 % successful ?
Is it supposed to work now ?
Thanks and best regards.

Hi,
I'm having some difficulty compiling ROS. I had to make a small tweak to <wine\config.h> (see my previous email) and everything compiles, except the explorer (which I've removed from my make file).
The explorer fails to compile because wstring is not defined. wstring in undefined because I have...
#ifdef _GLIBCPP_USE_WCHAR_T
template<> struct char_traits<wchar_t>;
typedef basic_string<wchar_t> wstring;
#endif
...in stringfwd.h (in the MinGW headers). I've tried defining _GLIBCPP_USE_WCHAR_T but the MinGW headers seem to be flawed.
I'm using MinGW 3.0.0, as linked to from reactos.com, but I notice 3.1.0 is also available (it appears to have the same problem).
How do you guys compile the explorer?
Cheers

I tried running the latest ReactOS ISO in Virtual PC 6 and it installs
fine but crashes when I boot it up. Also it did the same thing when I
installed previous versions. I have no programming experience but I am
interested in testing ReactOS. I will send a screen shot of the error.
Hi Mark
I agree that the embedded market is one to look at. However, the
reliability of ReactOS would have to be proven to be successful I'm
sure.
Cheers

Will this just be for the code in CVS or for 0.2 as well?

Hi Steven
I would assume it would be set up on the Foundation's website.
