FIX: Win32s 1.25a Fix List

• Microsoft Win32s version 1.25a

SUMMARY

The following is a list of the known bugs in Win32s version 1.2 that were fixed in Win32s version 1.25.

• GlobalAlloc(GMEM_FIXED) from 32-bit .EXE locks memory pages. It is more efficient to use GlobalAlloc(GMEM_MOVEABLE) and call GlobalFix() if necessary.

• WINMM16.DLL has no version information.

• CreateFileMapping() with SEC_NOCOMMIT returns ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER.

• PolyPolygon() does not close the polygons.

• OpenFile() only searches the current directory when only a filename is given, not the application directory, the system directory, the windows directory, or the directories listed on the path.

• GetFileInformationByHandle() doesn't return the correct file attribute.

• GlobalUnlock() sets an error of ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER.

• lstrcmp()/lstrcmpi() do not use the collate table correctly.

• FreeLibrary() in DLL_PROCESS_DETACH crashes the system.

• FindResource(), LoadResource(), GetProcAddress(), GetModuleFileName(), EnumResourceNames(), and other APIs, fail with a NULL hInstance.

• sndPlaySound() with SND_ASYNC | SND_MEMORY may cause a crash or may work poorly.

• Thread Local Storage (TLS) data is not initialized to 0 in TlsAlloc().

• The pointer received in the lParam of WM_INITDIALOG in the common dialog hook function becomes invalid in the following messages if the pointer is "remembered" in a static variable.

• Stubbed API GetFileAttributesW() does not return -1 on error.

• Code page CP_MACCP not supported.

• Invalid LCIDs are not recognized.

• CreateFile() fails to open an existing file in share mode.

• GetLocaleInfo() for locale returns system defaults from WIN.INI.

• GetVolumeInformation() fails with ERROR_INVALID_NAME for volumes without a label.

• VirtualProtect() may miss the last page in an address range.

• GetLocaleInfo() returns incorrect information for most non-US locales.

• ANSI/OEM conversions always use code page 437.

• GetProcAddress() for printer driver APIs is case sensitive.

• The LanMan APIs are unsupported, but they return 0, which indicates that the API was successful. They should return NERR_InvalidAPI (2142).

• CreateFileW() returns 0 instead of -1 (HFILE_ERROR).

• lstrcpyn() copies n bytes from source to destination, then appends a NULL terminator, instead of copying n-1 bytes and appending the NULL terminator.

• GetDriveType() doesn't report detecting a CD-ROM or a RAM DISK.

• CRTDLL calls TlsFree() upon each process detach, not just the last.

• If a DllEntryPoint calls FreeLibrary() when using universal thunks, the system can crash.

• Not all 32-bit DLLs have correct version numbers.

• GetCurrentDirectory() returns the wrong directory after calling GetOpenFileName(). The workaround is to call SetCurrentDirectory(".") right after returning from the call to GetOpenFileName().

• RegEnumValue() and other Registry functions return ERROR_SUCCESS even though they are not implemented. Win32s implements only the registry functions supported by Windows.

• AreFileApisANSI()/SetFileApisToANSI()/SetFileApisToOEM() are not exported. AreFileApisANSI() should always return TRUE, SetFileApiToOEM() should always fail, and SetFileApiToANSI() should always succeed.

• SetLocaleInfoW()/SetLocateInfoA() are not implemented.

• GetScrollPos() sets the last error if the scroll position is 0.

• SetScrollPos() sets the last error if the last scroll position is 0.

• LoadString() leaks memory if the string is a null string.

• GetFileVersionInfoSize() fails if the resource section is small and close to the end of the file.

• MoveFile() doesn't call SetLastError() on failure or sets a different error than on Windows NT.

• SetCurrentDirectory() does not work on a CD-ROM drive.

• GetFileVersionInfoSize() fails if the 2nd parameter is NULL.

• WSOCK32.DLL is missing exported stubs for unimplemented APIs.

• Win32s fails to load 64x64 monochrome (black and white) icons.

• CreateFile() fails when called with a filename with an international character.

• GetCurrentDirectory() returns an OEM string.

• PrintDlg() causes GP fault if hDevMode!=NULL and another printer is selected that uses a larger DevMode buffer.

• Unicode resources are not properly converted to 8-bit characters.

• CreateDC() returns an incorrect DEVMODE. This can cause a variety of symptoms, like the inability to do a Landscape Print Preview from an MFC application or the displayed paper width and height not changing, even when you change the paper size.

• OpenFile() fails on filenames with OEM characters in the name.

• WNetCancelConnection() should be supported similar to NetAddConnection().

• GetDriveType() fails on a Stacker 3.1 drive.

• SetCurrentDirectory() fails on Novell client machines.

• GetProp() returns 0 in the second instance of an app in certain cases.

• fopen(fn, "w") fails on second call.

• TLS indices allocated by a module are released when that module is freed.



• CreateWindow() handles STARTUPINFO incorrectly if the application starts minimized.



• CreateFile() creates files with incorrect attributes.



• Resource sections are now read/write to emulate the behavior of Windows NT and Windows 95.



• Removed the 128K stack limitation.



• CompareStringW() sometimes uses incorrect locale, primarily Swedish and other Scandinavian locales.



• Added dummy _iob to CRTDLL for applications that reference standard handles.



• Added support for OPENCHANNEL, CLOSECHANNEL, SEXGDIXFORM, and DOWNLOADHEADER escapes.
