x64 programs are not automatically rendered with MacType in 2018.10.19 beta

[eroneko]

I clean installed mactype 10.19 beta and selected registry mode but could ony get x86 programs to be automatically rendered with mactype. Manually enabling x64 programs with mactype in process manager is working. I'm using Windows 10 1809 LTSC.

You should check your registry for correction, which is kind of complicated.

Try this easy solution: Start->Run->MacType64.dll, it should give you a warning of opening a DLL file or ask you to select a program to open it. If it cannot find the file, there is something wrong with your environment variable settings.

Then you should check what in the registry position described here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/197571/working-with-the-appinit-dlls-registry-value Post what that is to see if we can help.

For the first solution, it does give me a warning of opening a dll file so maybe it has nothing to do with my environment variable settings. These are what I have in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows

Appinit_dlls must have a "mactype64.dll" in it. It was probably denied by your security software.

Write to it manually should fix the problem.

I have no anti-virus program installed and I even disabled windows defender. That's so weird that mactype can't access the registry.

I had this problem when I first installed MacType .. MacWiz said it was already in Registry Mode, however AppInit_DLLs wasn't set .. And clicking Next Next Finish in MacWiz (in Registry Mode) didn't add it.

Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows MacType.dll was correctly added in AppInit_DLLs.

[snowie2000]

That's why your x86 applications are working correctly.

That's because the wizard only checks the x86 part of the registry. If it successfully found the expected key, it treats the start mode as registry mode.

When you didn't change the loading mode (at least the wizard thinks so), it does nothing.

[sammilucia]

Yes I know ... I just suspect there's a set of conditions where MacWiz thinks it's in Registry Mode but MacType isn't actually working.

[sammilucia]

@snowie2000 Maybe I should clear both registry areas when installing the latest version? ... Yes, I need to add this function.

[sammilucia]

@snowie2000 MacWiz should also be checking both registry strings and making sure they're consistent.

[sammilucia]

@snowie2000 I assume it will only be MacType.dll (not MacType64.dll) that appears in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows ?

[snowie2000]

Yes, wow6432node only needs the mactype.dll file

I'll complete the check.

[sammilucia]

@snowie2000 yep confirmed. Changes to the installer are done, I'll commit them shortly

[sammilucia]

@snowie2000 should be pushed. As you know I've been having SSL problems which should now be fixed. Can you please confirm you can see that commit on Inno-setup branch?

You can merge the Inno-setup branch if you want

Confirmed.

[sammilucia]

Great thank you.

[snowie2000]

I pushed a new version of mactray.exe together with languages update. Loading mode detection is improved and that balloon tip is now included in the .lng files. (I did the translation but you're always welcome to improve it).

The next thing to do is to show the internal version instead of the file version. After that, I think we can push another beta and move to RC if no important bug is found.

[sammilucia]

@snowie2000 okay no problems. I cannot see the commit in dbg

[fonlan]

Pick a small stool to wait for the new beta^_^

[sergeevabc]

New beta is released. Does it resolve the complication?

[Ray-Eldath]

No more update on this project...?
