KernelEx Auxiliary DLL Updates

[jumper]

Thank you for continuing to test. I'm planning a larger role for Auxiliary DLLs in K17 (KernelEx 4.17) including selectable DLL "sets" instead of just one set for all configurations.

My current settings (~ disables):
  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\KernelEx\KnownDLLs]
  "~Ktree"="Ktree ignores entries prefixed with ~"
  "~ADVPACK"="IE8\\ADVPACK.DLL"
  "~MSVCM90"="MSVC\\MSVCM90.DLL"
  "~MSVCP90"="MSVC\\MSVCP90.DLL"
  "~MSVCR90"="MSVC\\MSVCR90.DLL"
  "~SHLWAPI"="IE8\\SHLWAPI.DLL"
  "~URLMON"="IE8\\URLMON.DLL"
  "~WINTRUST"="ROS\\WINTRUST.DLL"
  "~WLDAP32"="ROS\\WLDAP32.DLL"
  "IERTUTIL"="IE8\\IERTUTIL.DLL"
  "MSIMG32"="MSIMG32.DLL"
  "MSRATING"="IE8\\MSRATING.DLL"
  "NORMALIZ"="IE8\\NORMALIZ.DLL"
  "PDH"="PDH.DLL"
  "PSAPI"="PSAPI.DLL"
  "USERENV"="USERENV.DLL"
  "UXTHEME"="UXTHEME.DLL"
  "WTSAPI32"="WTSAPI32.DLL"



> Seem to be working with test apps:
> ...SHFOLDER.DLL (6.00.2900.5512 (xpsp.080413-2105))

Shfolder.dll on NT is a stub. 9x already has the real thing, so don't replace it!


> OpenGL32.dll: OpenGL doesn't work.
If from ROS, it should work with paired GDI32.dll. Otherwise try these Kexstubs definitions:
  [Gdi32.dll]
  GdiDescribePixelFormat=>gdi32.ros:DescribePixelFormat
  GdiSetPixelFormat=>gdi32.ros:SetPixelFormat
  GdiSwapBuffers=>gdi32.ros:SwapBuffers



> Updated ROS section with MSVCRT20.DLL now working after adding few kext-stubs.

I've added a great many stubs to Kexbases in the last few releases. Remove duplicates from Kexstubs and please post here any that are still needed.


> [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\KernelEx\KnownDLLs]
> "ADVAPI32"="ROS\\ADVAPI32.DLL"
> "ADVAPI32_VISTA"="ROS\\ADVAPI32_VISTA.DLL"

K17 will support something like:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\KernelEx\KnownDLLs\Win2k]
"ADVAPI32"="ROS\\ADVAPI32.DLL"
"KERNEL32"="ROS\\KERNEL32.DLL,2"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\KernelEx\KnownDLLs\Vista]
"ADVAPI32"="ROS\\ADVAPI32_VISTA.DLL"
"KERNEL32"="ROS\\KERNEL32_VISTA.DLL,prestub"


where ",2" or ",prestub" indicate an api search order.

How do I install VMware Tools on ReactOS?

I need to transfer these ReactOS DLL files to my Windows ME VM.

I am pleased, that you like to test ReactOS files on Win ME. I would like to help, but I had never tried VMWare/VMWare Tools on ReactOS. It's also been round about 10 years since I tinkered with VM's. You may find more help on the ReactOS forum or ReactOS Wiki at first. (https://reactos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=16367) Of course, VMWare Tools on ReactOS is off topic here in KernelEx Auxiliary DLL Updates.

Sorry, I have to delete my ME VM to make space for my Vista VM.

i know this is an extremely late comment, but i am the only one who is struggling to run java 7/8 even after the auxiliary updates? i still get the error about missing export in kernel32 dll:interlockedpopentrylist, can someone help me?

[schwups]

Really interlockedpopentrylist or InterlockedPopEntrySList? InterlockedPopEntrySList should be supported by kexbases.

Did you set javaw.exe and java.exe to win2000SP4?

[schwups]

I seem to remember early KernelEx versions like 4.5.2 need Kext (Kstub822) with entry  [Kernel32.dll] InterlockedPopEntrySList=f1.

It's probably supported since v4.5.2015.3.

Uxtheme (48/95 of 95): 4.5.2/ uxtheme.7z

I've added six new failure stubs to Uxtheme:

• BeginBufferedAnimation
• BufferedPaintClear
• DrawThemeTextEx
• EndBufferedAnimation
• GetBufferedPaintBits
• SetWindowThemeAttribute

Any more requests?

Psapi (17/27 of 27?): 4.5.2/psapi3b.7z

To support eighteen K32 functions in Kernel32, I've also added eleven new stubs to Psapi.

These are in my Kext ini, too:
BeginPanningFeedback
BufferedPaintRenderAnimation
BufferedPaintSetAlpha
BufferedPaintStopAllAnimations
EndPanningFeedback
GetThemeTransitionDuration
UpdatePanningFeedback

[jumper]

Thanks. At some point, I'll add all Win7 Uxtheme functions as we are now well past XP.

 

[jumper]

uxtheme423.7z

Now includes all 124 known functions from Microsoft, Wine, and ReactOS.

With source code and Developer Studio 97 Project file.

Thanks for the update. I'll let you know, if I run into trouble. My first impression is good and all my requested API's are now supported.

I have no idea where to post this.

I tried using Windows 2000 DLL's from BWC's Extended Kernel (latest version). It seems to have broken my Windows ME installation. A literal error stating Windows can't load explorer.exe and requires a reinstall. Booting into safe mode works. Can confirm the msvcrt.dll file does not work.

Could have created a new topic about this in the Windows 9x/ME forum.

What specific DLLs did you copy from blackwingcat's Windows 2000 Extended Kernel? What program are you trying to get running on your Windows ME?
