A complaint the Windows 3.1 has no PROGMAN. https://archive.org/details/qcrack |
|

|
bai |
oh yeah, I remember having that problem with a good number of apps when we first got this working with the stripped-down win31 image |
|

DFJustin |
1) it doesn't have progman 2) that's not the actual problem |
|
21:41
🔗
|
bai |
can't remember if we have a workaround - is there another more fully-fleshed-out image with the full desktop that's also configured for secondary app launching? |
|

|
bai |
ah :D |
|

DFJustin |
basically our batch file thingy tells windows to run the exe from the item as the windows shell instead of progman |
|
21:42
🔗
|
DFJustin |
but if there's any issue loading it, the windows error message is hardcoded to say progman |
|

|
DFJustin |
the actual problem in this case is that qcrack is a DOS program and not a windows 3.1 program |
|

Ah. |

ah hah |

I haven't come across anything that actually needs progman except for installers creating program groups |
|

|
bai |
I love the idea that qcrack is now archived btw :D |

DFJustin: I think there were some games which basically used windows as a windowmanager for their UI, MDI vs SDI kind of thing - Outpost is one I had problems getting to run, I believe, but maybe that was a different issue |

I should say there are programs that don't like being the shell but that's not quite the same thing |
|

|
bai |
yeah, maybe that was it |
