Hello GhostlyDeath, welcome to the project. >Hello, is there a repository where these changes are going into (such as git, hg, or fossil)? If not, it would be far superior to have such a thing so that changes are easier to be gauged and more may easily contribute API additions for anything that is missing. There would also be a reduced risk of GPL violations as every change would be made public. Agreed. In fact, we've already considered using a repository. Do you know of any that are compatible with both Win9x and VC6? >I am also requesting the full source code for the latest Release.9.7z build. Drugwash has already made a motion for me to release a full source package and now GhostlyDeath has seconded it, so the motion passes. I'll clean up my 4.5.2015.9 source snapshot and post it ASAP. >My current plan, once I finish relocating my possessions and can unpack my Windows 98 SE system to plug it in, is to attempt to add support for a manually installed Oracle Java 8 JDK if it is not already supported. We've had a great deal of trouble building a stable version of Kexbasen.dll that works on all configurations of 98/SE/ME. If you get your system up and running before I can post source.9, please install the KernelEx toolchain and test it by building the 4.5.2 release, the 4.5.3 beta, and Ley0k's 4.6 beta; then post each of the Kexbasen versions for our testers to test with. TIA.

GetEnvironmentVariableW appears to be failing in both the good and the bad logs. SetEnvironmentVariableW returns different values. I may need to write a small test app to debug these. It was important to have a matched set of fault and api logs so the that the various memory addresses matched. I used first Procwin and then DumpPe -disasm to identify MSVCR70. The problem is that _wputenv calls down through several private functions and invokes _wenviron which is uninitialized. I don't yet know why. In the meantime, here's a new build to try: Release.9.7z KernelEx v4.5.2015.9 by jumper2015-04-06 tweaks to core\sharedmem.cpp2015-03-31Kexbases\kernel32\_kernel32_stubs.c rseUNIMPL_FUNC(GetLogicalProcessorInformation, 0, 2, ERROR_NI); //z2e ;MPC-HC1.7.7 rseUNIMPL_FUNC(GetNumaHighestNodeNumber, 0, 1, ERROR_NI); //z1e ;msvcr1102015-01-24Kexbases update: Kernel32:CreateProcessW_new now chains to CreateProcessA_fixKexbases\Ntdll: 5 new failure stubs: NtCreateProfile, NtOpenFile, NtQueryInformationProcess, NtQueryInformationThread, NtQuerySystemInformationKexbasen new: Ntdll: 70 apis forwarded to Advapi32, 11 to Kernel32Kexbasen forwards: Oleaut32:442/RegisterTypeLibForUser, 443/UnRegisterTypeLibForUser => *RegisterTypeLib

GetLogicalProcessorInformation and GetNumaHighestNodeNumber are now implemented in Kex2015.9.

What I need most (as always) is the crash report from FAULTLOG.txt. I've been studying Get/SetEnvironmentVariableW and they just forward to Unicows.dll like many other functions. Try filtering by "EnvironmentVariableW"; that should also show the matching lines with return values. Comparing that to the working log will be helpful. Next would be the last unfiltered 100 lines (going back at least as far as that last GetEnvironmentVariableW). Next again will probably be me reinstalling SE on the spare P4 (w/SSE) machine that died on me last year....

I tested gimp-2.8.14-setup.exe and was unable to reproduce the previously reported problems (most of the reported files do no exist). Please use ImportPatcher40 to check the problem gimp files with "Test by loading" disabled. Then compare that missing api list to ChangeLog.7 (or .8) and Ktree results in core.ini->kexbasen to find potential sources of the problem. Checking "Use API Hook" in an app's KernelEx properties causes Kernelex.dll to look for a plug-in named ApiHook.dll. That plug-in and a debug console to go with it is almost ready. There is no performance penalty if "Use API Hook" is not checked or ApiHook.dll is not found, and will be almost none when api logging (filtered to console or raw to file) is disabled in the debug console (can be enabled/disabled on-the-fly!). Edit by jumper, 28 March 2015 - 07:36 AM.: ApiHook.8.7z Put apihook.dll in KernelEx folder. Rename DebugWindow.exe to KexApiLog.exe (to match the icon) if you like and run from anywhere to begin api monitoring. Right-click in window for options. Try setting filter to Include:"7d00" to see just apis implemented in kexbasen. Edit by jumper, 30 March 2015 - 03:23 PM.: Disable KernelEx extensions on these two files!

Webfonts look fixable for O12 and FF9 in 9x. Can we find or create a small test case to test api support against?

Release.8.7z KernelEx v4.5.2015.8 is nearly finally ready. The XnConvert issue turned out to be very easy to find (using ProcWin) and fix (SHGetImageList needed to not exist or return E_NOTIMPL). There are three different codes for "Not Implemented"--SHGetImageList was returning the wrong one. I have now defined three new constants in common.h to make picking the right one easier. I have also reviewed the return codes for all new and most existing stubs (except Advapi32) and updated many of them. See tentative change log below. The v4.5.2015.9 changes are what I backed out to get to a more stable release. Between 1/24 and 2/28 I was learning the ApiHook interface (very powerful!) and working on improving the performance of the ApiLog/DebugWindow tool to make it usable without rebooting.

http://archive.org and http://archive.org/details/AllAmeri1936 still not working here (w/ or w/o JS). Twitter is the same. I see Wait... Connecting... Wait... Connecting... (OB1) or Connecting... Connected... Connecting... (FF2) in the status bar for all these sites but never https://:/. OffByOne still gives a Ubuntu server "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently" message. In OB1 http://details.archive.org/AllAmeri1936 gives what appears to be the home page, but also containing a page not found message. In FF2 it's just an empty "Page not found: We’re sorry, the page you have requested is not available" under a sparse menu bar. http://details.archive.org/movies is interesting. In summary, not working in FF2 for me!

The latest Gimp (2.8.4) has files with bogus internal build timestamps (1970, 2040, etc.). ImportPatcher.41 can now handle them. The "...local folder" option now defaults to ON when ImportPatcher launches and retains any user changes throughout the session. (In IP.40 it was auto-reset to ON for EXEs and OFF for DLLs at each file load.) WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC messages are now processed to (hopefully) prevent Revolutions Pack from "customizing" the background color of the controls: case WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC: SetBkMode ((HDC)wParam, TRANSPARENT); return (int)GetStockObject (LTGRAY_BRUSH);In case that doesn't work, one of the controls was resized so it should look better anyway.UPXing an app with standard parameters converts all dependencies but the first API of each DLL into delay-loads that can currently only be detected by profiling. In the case of FF10, GetProcessIoCounters is provided by kexbases so it's not a problem. In addition to the cursor changing to an hourglass during processing, the Analyze and Patch buttons and large text area are now disabled (grayed) as well. All return to normal to signify when processing is done. This is a very minor release, so major changes such as Ordinal support and better logging options will have to wait. Also: Invalid timestamps and file alignments are detected and reported in the log (if enabled), but not reported in the ini file/text box. Older features "Link to patched copies" and "Unbind broken bindings" have not been tested recently and may not work! ImportPatcher.41.7z

Was working just last week in FF2, but not now with or without javascript. Wayback machine still works. http://web.archive.org/ forwards to http://archive.org/web/ and works. Search of Internet Archive works with results page summaries, but links redirect to https and "The connection was reset" in FF2.

Profile it in Dependency Walker on both platforms and compare the debug output.

What file(s) did you set the compatibility mode on and what worked? If the driver didn't load, then it didn't work.... The network adapter is not working, correct?

Depends doesn't know about KernelEx and is generally incompatible with it. Because Depends is hooking various apis in order to profile, I think you need to set the Kex compatibility modes on Depends as well as on the app being profiled.

The second is easy: stretch the wallpaper in Irfanview, etc., and resave. For the first you might try using autoruns to find and disable the backup process. Or try deleting the *.da0 files and creating folders with the same names.

GetUserDefaultUILanguage is already in Kexbases. I had similar results with SM2.32, but no crashes. Definitely a work in progress.

R8 will have api logging so we can begin tracking down many of these pesky issues. I'm using the apihook code with some improvements to make it easy to use. @Drugwash -- use threading settings from 4.5.2 if you need to. We are ignoring standard libraries and providing our own crt code. The .text warnings are because I .merged sections and used dosstub.exe for size in VC5 on those. Jusr remove the .merge and .stub linker options.

I use Media Player. QuickTime 4 also works well.

Yes, FF2..20 supports frames/iframes. Check browser.frames.enabled in about:config and any content-blocking plugins you might have. If you right-click inside the frame, you should see "This Frame >" in the context menu. Try some of the submenu options.

In the stack dump, I'm seeing way too many duplicate return addresses in Kernel32 (bff6....) and Kexbases (bfa4....). Looks like a stack leak is happening. The crash is in module FOXITREADER.EXE, so I'll need to get that to have any hope in determining what lead up to the crash. The last reference to Kexbases is bfa4d24b; what version are you using?

Release.7.7z KernelEx v4.5.2015.7 by jumper2015-01-22Kexbases bugfix: Kernel32:CreateProcessA (fix)Good new: all crashes are in KEXBASES.DLL at xxxx:bfa56000 in the CreateProcessA code I merged from 4.5.3beta. I've rewritten the fix including removing the offending line of code.

I'll repost my original #74 below. Original post #75 was Release 6 and changelog. I'll skip reposting this one. Thanks for the detailed reports. I'll do some debugging, then probably just revert to 5. I'll be more careful in using 4.5.3beta code! @MiKl - Are the Thunderbird 12.x and SeaMonkey 8 and 9 hangs a regression or progress compaired to 4.5.2 and recent updates? [answered!] @loblo - You may remember from the Kexstubs discussion last year that we were unable to find a working definition for FindActCtxSectionStringW; its mere presence caused some apps to crash. ReactOS' Ole32.dll needs it, however, and so may some other apps. So I've exported it as FindActCtxSectionStrin_W so ImportPatcher can easily mod a file into working. FindActCtxSectionGuid is not currently known to be needed and might also be dangerous, so I've treated it the same way. @tErmY - Thanks for testing. This is a BIG deal, however--regressions are not good. Can I correctly assume that FlashBlock 1.5.14.2 worked with v.4 and just not v.5? Please define "seems to have broken" and be very specific! If you are also using Kexstubs, please note the order of your "contents=" line in core.ini (mine reads "contents=std,Kstub822,kexbases,kexbasen") @Drugwash - I plan to do a cumulative delta source package at release 10. Hopefully you will be able to to build a full release for us at that time. Until then, don't feel obligated to manually merge and build every version. Maybe TmEE can help us with hosting or we can open a SourceForge account.
