[control panel] [map net drive] issues (TV3\4.0118-WinME*)

[free]

-WinME -no network drive..

RC my computer and/or My net places does invoke the proper window, (but -of-course net logon is required to proceed...)
However, TV3 reports:
-RUNDLL
Error in shell32.dll Missing entry

(The 'net use' cmd in ME runs properly and prompts for the required net logon.)

While checking the control panel menu, to my surprise- same error!?!
Reloaded TV3/4.0117 -control panel menu works again!?!

-Conclusion:
The entry point used in both linked to shel32.dll is not ME(9x prolly) compatable...

--However, the following cmdlines do work fine from start|run and command.com

1.) control
2.) rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL

hmmmmmm....

-
rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL

hmmmmmm....

Wrong conclusion earlier...
RunDLL32.EXE shell32.dll,SHHelpShortcuts_RunDLL Connect
is fine in WinME as well.. but--

TV3\0117:

Code: Select all

<snip>
rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL

TV3\0118:

Code: Select all

 
<snip>  
rundll32.exe shell32.dll, Control_RunDLL
...
rundll32.exe shell32.dll, SHHelpShortcuts...
rundll32.exe shell32.dll, SHHelpShortcuts_...

..The extra space in the cmdline after shell32.dll,<-- is the reason!

Reproduced same error via start/run (in ME) which does not occur when that space is omitted.
Makes no diff in xp, so you might as well

hey, very good!!
Next BETA's coming...

What do you use to extract this information from the exe?

[admin]

free,

after I will have uploaded v120, could you test this run command for me (it is supposed to work under 9x/ME):
rundll32.exe User,wnetconnectdialog

This is the same for 2K/XP (and is currently used in T4, and is supposed to work under 9x/ME as well!):
rundll32.exe shell32.dll,SHHelpShortcuts_RunDLL Connect

could you test this run command for me (it is supposed to work under 9x/ME):

Yup, did earlier...

rundll32.exe User,wnetconnectdialog
Works in ME as expected


rundll32.exe shell32.dll,SHHelpShortcuts_RunDLL Connect
Works in xp AND ME as expected.. (And probably all others...)

The culprit was the extra space in the cmdline...

In fact, ME pointed the error correctly as there should be no space between shell32,+ and it's linked entrypoint (whereas XP supresses 'illegal' code by including *generous* bloat in buffers and registry...)

That said... V120 and plain ol' 'control' did the trick...

What do you use to extract this information from the exe?

Well... TV3 and ummm
BinText (Ascii, Unicode and Resource strings] *hint

BinText

Ah, Robin Keir is also a TrackerV3 fan from the earliest days.

Yes, I should take care of those Unicode strings...

And thanks for testing
