Win2003 periodic failures

Win2003 periodic failures

[Allan Yates]

I have been running Cygwin on WinNT and Win2000 platforms with no issues
for a year or so. I recently installed the latest (1.3.22-1) version on
a Win2003 machine. Running the same code (very simple shell scripts) I
am see the following error 12-25% of the time:
 
couldn't dynamically determine load address for RegCreateKeyUxA' (handle
0x77DA0000), Win32 error 127

Searches of the Cygwin archive and Google came up negative. 
 
Has anybody seen this before? Or is there a specific version of Cygwin
for Win2003 that I haven't found yet?
 
 
Thanks,
 
Allan.

I think this means that RegCreateKeyUxA is no longer exported or supported (in
Windows 2003).

I don't know why cygwin would be loading something called RegCreateKeyUxA.  It
certainly isn't intentional.  It should be using RegCreateKeyExA.  I can't find
any reference to the UxA version anywhere in the source.

Has Windows 2003 been officially released?  If not, this falls into the "only works
on non-beta versions of Windows" category.

This is definitely the string coming out. Performing a 'strings' on the
DLL shows this 'dynamically determine load address' error message,
though with a %s for the actual module name.

Win 2003 is released. If you have enough money - Microsoft will be happy
to sell it to you :)


Thanks,

Allan.

I didn't say this wasn't a cygwin error.  I said that cygwin doesn't try to
use anything called 'RegCreateKeyUxA'.

It's extremely unlikely that Red Hat would pay for a Windows 2003
product at this point.  So, it will be some time before this gets
investigated.

If someone wants to donate a valid copy (or two) of Windows Server 2003,
then contact me via private email.  cgf-USUALCHARACTER-redhat-PERIOD-com.
