[CatButts] it was a specific dll

uhm... I'm not sure I understand the question

what you trying to tell and to which application

and what's the actual problem

[CatButts] windows applications using IE to browse a page/render a gui

ah... use MSHTML API

[CatButts] MSHTML.DLL

[CatButts] there we go

Need For Speed Hot Pursuit 2 (NFSHP2) Demo running in ReactOS: https://t.co/vyaT1scqvN via @YouTube

[CatButts] yep

[CatButts] mshtml is loaded

[CatButts] I am prodding skype on windows XP

[CatButts] and diagnosing why it no longer works

[CatButts] conveniently enough, according to procmon, skype attempts to look for mshtml in its own folder first

[CatButts] what does reactos do for its mshtml?

[CatButts] (if anything)

[CatButts] >MSHTML is the central component for rendering HTML pages in applications written for Windows. At the moment, ReactOS depends on a heavyweight Gecko-based MSHTML implementation that needs to be installed manually.

[CatButts] anything better than IE8!

[CatButts] especially when it comes to damned SSL

[CatButts] mshtml.tlb

[CatButts] what's a tlb?

[CatButts] LoadTypeLib

[CatButts] eww, COM

[CatButts] what has reactos paint been renamed to?

[CatButts] it used to be paint.exe

[CatButts] I am scavenging through the cabinet file

[CatButts] from the ISO

mspaint.exe?

[CatButts] oh duh, yes

[eersoy93] paint.exe naming is from Windows 1.x/2.x. :)

pbrush.exe

[eersoy93] pbrush.exe naming is from Windows 3.x.

[eersoy93] :)

[CatButts] I see winfile is no longer there

[CatButts] I think explorer has a switch to let me run a single file explorer without replacing my hole damned shell

[eersoy93] win(e)file can be imported from Wine.

[eersoy93] A win(e)file is in ROSAPPS but it is old I think.

explorer /nodesktop on Microsoft's version anyway

[CatButts] dare I try?

[CatButts] I tried, bad

[Mysoft] mjansen you know something about windows SXS?

[mjansen] yea

[Mysoft] i'm interested on the possibility of using it

[Mysoft] so that a different version of kernel32.dll would be loaded

[Mysoft] but documentation regarding that is all scrambled up

[Mysoft] partially due the new sxs of vista, and partially by not being specific on how sxs works (without dependencies on MS linker)

[Mysoft] and if that only works if the replacement dll is signed :)

[hyoenmadan] i don't think windows SxS can be used to load different versions of core dlls

[hyoenmadan] (kernel, user, gdi)

[hyoenmadan] the mechanism was intented for usermode dlls as comctrl and libraries mostly

[hyoenmadan] as the visual c and basic runtimes

[hyoenmadan] for core components they use what they call APIsets, which is something totally different

[hyoenmadan] ofc for ROS would be totally different

[Mysoft] there's APIsets on XP?

[pinchy] muh set of all sets

[hyoenmadan] <Mysoft>: nope. APIsets started in Win7 and got widely system usage in Win8

[Mysoft] then it does not help :P

[hyoenmadan] ofc not

[Mysoft] the only thing that seems to still help despite widely undocumented

[Mysoft] are the shims...

[hyoenmadan] XP doesn't provide any mechanism to mimic windows vesions

[hyoenmadan] at core level

[Mysoft] yes it does

[Mysoft] ah ok

[Mysoft] :P

[Mysoft] because i noticed a shim that fixes execution on

[Mysoft] pages that are not marked for execution...

[Mysoft] so IF that shim... is enabled trough an exception... then it wont help

[Mysoft] but if that shim... modifies the in memory version of the executable

[Mysoft] then i want to mimic this shim to fix all the problems

[Mysoft] but shims are so cryptic and poorly documented

[Mysoft] that is hard to advance there

[Mysoft] i probabily should look if there's a chapter on windows internals talking about that

[encoded] hiiiiiiiii

[encoded] where can i get dd-WReacTOS brcmarm ARMv71 ?
