Jira (PUP-6278) CoInitialize uses STA, not supported on Windows Nano Server

Title: Message Title

Ethan Brown commented on PUP-6278   Re: CoInitialize uses STA, not supported on Windows Nano Server It looks to me like OleInitialize is being called by Ruby's WIN32OLE and it's not failing. I wonder if Nano changed the internal behavior of that call? You have stated: Calling OleInitialize() on Nano fails with return code -2147024809. However, that's not the behavior I'm seeing with a simple Ruby test script that leverages FFI and calls OleInitialize directly: require 'ffi'   module COM extend FFI::Library   ffi_convention :stdcall   S_OK = 0 S_FALSE = 1   def SUCCEEDED(hr) hr >= 0 end def FAILED(hr) hr < 0 end   module_function :SUCCEEDED, :FAILED   def raise_if_hresult_failed(name, *args) failed = FAILED(result = send(name, *args)) and raise "#{name} failed (hresult #{format('%#08x', result)})."   result ensure yield failed if block_given? end   module_function :raise_if_hresult_failed   # HRESULT CoInitialize( # _In_opt_ LPVOID pvReserved # ); ffi_lib :ole32 attach_function :CoInitialize, [:pointer], :int32   ffi_lib :ole32 attach_function :OleInitialize, [:pointer], :int32   # void CoUninitialize(void); ffi_lib :ole32 attach_function :CoUninitialize, [], :void   ffi_lib :ole32 attach_function :OleUninitialize, [], :void     def InitializeCom raise_if_hresult_failed(:CoInitialize, FFI::Pointer::NULL)   puts 'Successfully called CoInitialize'   at_exit { CoUninitialize() } end   module_function :InitializeCom     def InitializeOle raise_if_hresult_failed(:OleInitialize, FFI::Pointer::NULL)   puts 'Successfully called OleInitialize'     at_exit { OleUninitialize() } end   module_function :InitializeOle end   COM.InitializeOle Results [10.0.16.145]: PS C:\puppet> bundle exec ruby .\ole-init-test.rb Successfully called OleInitialize Add Comment   This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.13#64028-sha1:b7939e9) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Bugs" group.
