Hi,
While testing the Sims I came across the following:
Setup.exe does:
GetCurrentDirectory() -> returns E:\, my CD ROM drive.
GetPrivateProfileStringA("SKU","SKU","MISSING",buf,buflen,"MAXIS.INI")
MAXIS.INI is only in E:\, the program fails if it returns "MISSING".
=> the profile code also checks the current directory.
I am not sure whether:
- Does it check the current directory first and then %windir% ?
- If it does not find a file, does it create the .ini file in the current
directory or in %windir% ?
Could someone please check this under real windows?
Meanwhile, the following patch only changes small part of the current
behaviour and makes The Sims Setup.Exe start up.
Ciao, Marcus
Changelog:
Also look for presence of .INI file in the current directory.
