jumper Posted August 3, 2012 Author Posted August 3, 2012 >I think it should be PrintDlgExW=>ComDlgKs.dll:PrintDlgExW !?Good eye, I hoped it would be noticed. This was an intentional example of how the '.dll' extension is optional: ; =>[[drive:]path]library[.ext]:functionSumatraPDF 2.11 was my test case for this forwarding definition.
schwups Posted August 7, 2012 Posted August 7, 2012 (edited) After updating to 730 an IE script error occured in windows\web\controlp.htt, if I tried open the control panel. This happened on two of three machines. Run => regsvr32 webvw.dll doesn't work. Downgrading to 626 fixed the error. Edited August 8, 2012 by schwups

This happened on two of three machines. Run => regsvr32 webvw.dll doesn't work. Downgrading to 626 fixed the error.Probably one of the new definitions. First we need to look at what was reported in the Kstub730.log file. Each action is now logged. The next thing would be to try the older definitions with Kstub730.dll. You can do this by removing Kstub730.ini--Kstub730 will use Kex stubs.ini if it doesn't find Kstub30.ini. (Kstub626.dll also has this feature.) Edited August 9, 2012 by jumper

jumper Posted August 8, 2012 Author Posted August 8, 2012 Kstub730.log file:= Shlwapi.dll:SHRegisterValidateTemplate=t2 ? == Kernel32.dll:GetUserGeoID=t1 =Both of these definitions already existed, so the problem is likely a definition that was removed. I'll address that in the next post.Using this Table of Geographical Locations, we can now upgrade GetUserGeoID from GEOID_NOT_AVAILABLE (-1), to: [Kernel32.dll]GetUserGeoID=r0xF4s1 ;US; orGetUserGeoID=r0x5Es1 ;Germany
jumper Posted August 8, 2012 Author Posted August 8, 2012 Do you mean Kexstubs.ini = stubs.ini of version 626 and I have to paste it in the KernelEx folder?Yes, or leave it if it is still there. I'll correct post #51. Thanks! If so, then I always get questions of Kexstub730 before opening a new Explorer window: Shlwapi.dll:SHRegisterValidateTemplate=t2?SetLastError (1/0) [Yes/No]more options [Cancel]andShlwapi.dll:SHRegisterValidateTemplate=t2?return -1/0 [Yes/no]more options [Cancel]The prompt occurs because Kstub730 supports the '?' directive (whereas Kstub626 did not): ; =r#s#[e[#]][?]Remove the '?' to use the 't2' without prompting.I added the '?' because the function is undocumented and the 't' was a guess. Users can try 'f2' or 'r<n>s2' to change the return value. An 'e' can also be tried. This is the purpose of the prompt sequence: to be able to experiment with different options without restarting the app. When prompted, Cancel+Yes is equivalent to 't2'--what combinations of responses have or haven't worked for you?SHRegisterValidateTemplate was first introduced in Windows 2000, so you are using a W2K+ file somewhere in your WinMe(?) system. This isn't a bad thing, but it would be good to know what file is making the call. Please search your <WinSys> folder for files containing "SHRegisterValidateTemplate". Also, check what modules are in use by Explorer at the time of this prompt. Does your system that is not having a problem happen to be SE, or not have all the same SP's/upgrades?Thanks for the report and good followup!
schwups Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) what combinations of responses have or haven't worked for you?All combinations work to open a folder, but no combination work to open the control panel.Does your system that is not having a problem happen to be SE, or not have all the same SP's/upgrades?I corrected the post #50. The IE script error occurred on all three Win ME test systems. The SP1 isn't installed.Installed: 1. IE6 SP1 2. DirectX9c 3. NetFramework 1.1 and 2.0 4. unicows.dll (1.1.3790.0) 5. VisualBasic 6.0 SP6 (vbrun60sp6.exe) 6. MDAC 2.81 SP1 7. VisualC++ red 2005 (SP) and 2008 8. MS Win ME Update User / GDI 9. GDIPLUS (WinXP) Edited August 9, 2012 by schwups

jumper Posted August 10, 2012 Author Posted August 10, 2012 (edited) Alteration of the sequence in the core.ini from "contends=std,kexbases,kexbasen,Kstub730" to "contents=Kstub730,std,kexbases,kexbasen" solves the problem. Very good. This means that one of the definitions is colliding with a standard function or one in kexbases or kexbasen. I wasn't aware of any with SE other than the intentional PrintDlgEx, but will recheck.Testload.exe can be used to detect collisions (load addresses of functions in stubs.ini above 0x10001nnn), but I'll design a better tool.The reason for increasing the priority of Kstub730 was to override KernelEx on ComDlg32:PrintDlgExA/W. That can also be done with a .names definition in Core.ini:[NT2K.names]ComDlg32.PrintDlgExA=Kstub730.0ComDlg32.PrintDlgExW=Kstub730.0 I've now rechecked for conflicts using TestLoad and found none on my SE system, but the Msvcr90.dll section would probably be an issue for those with the latest version installed (definitions are meant to augment the original version). Before Kstub730, [Msvcr90.dll] was missing the '0'. Edited August 11, 2012 by jumper
jumper Posted August 17, 2012 Author Posted August 17, 2012 (edited) Kstubs816 now posted with better forwarding, better definitions+ Forwards can now be abbreviated and commented+ Many new forward definitions providing full function support+ Complete definitions for all stubbed functions- Stepload support removedNote: Full-line comments got broken last week when I was trying a trick to avoid needing system restarts in some cases. The workaround is to remove from Kstub816.ini / stubs.ini all definitions that are commented out. I've posted a new download with the updated Kstub816.ini.Edit: 822 is what 816 was supposed to be. It has the same features, but without the full-line and end-of-forwards-line comment bugs. Edited August 23, 2012 by jumper
schwups Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 So far I can't see any problems with version 816, if the sequence in the core.ini is: "contents=Kstub816,std,kexbases,kexbasen"
