Yet another eCS 1.2-fix by users

[xynixme]

Assuming a default install, as usual, with an original copy of UniAud:

x:\MMOS2\UNIMIX.EXE requires LIBC04.DLL, which is missing.

Installing a copy of LIBC04.DLL in e.g. x:\ECS\DLL or x:\MMOS2\DLL will result in a different fatal error message, but at least its text is better than the originally reported missing system DLL.

Well judging by the lack of support and information and the sad delay of ECS 2.2. I am not surprised you had to fix it yourself. They do not respond to anyone anymore and I gave up on them a long time ago and went with Arca OS.

The app SYSEDOS2_12.ZIP crashes, because an OS2.INI file entry is (possibly intentionally) missing.

I'll attach a different SYSEDOS2.EXE which uses OS/2 to try to find Win-OS/2, instead of using Win-OS/2 to find OS/2. I cannot reproduce the old *.EXE easily and it's a quick & dirty fix, so it'll be safer to edit OS2.INI. Application PM_INSTALL, (new) key WINOS2_LOCATION. The attached EXE uses the value of SET WIN3DIR in x:\AUTOEXEC.BAT. Append one extra character to this value.

Or, in case this simple app crashes with an error related to Win-OS/2 INI files: try to use the Rexx code below, without checks and without deleting the new OS2.INI file setting afterwards:

Code: [Select]

/**/
CALL RxFuncAdd 'SysBootDrive','RexxUtil','SysBootDrive'
CALL RxFuncAdd 'SysIni','RexxUtil','SysIni'

source=SysBootDrive()||'\AUTOEXEC.BAT'
DO WHILE Lines(source)>0
   line=Translate(Strip(LineIn(source)))
   IF Left(line,12)='SET WIN3DIR=' THEN DO
      PARSE VAR line 1 . 13 winos2 .
      IF winos2<>'' THEN CALL SysIni 'USER','PM_INSTALL','WINOS2_LOCATION',Strip(winos2)||D2C(0)
   END
END
CALL LineOut source
EXIT
Please note I didn't check if OS/2 ever used to save the location of Win-OS/2 in OS2.INI. This is just a way to rescue an app, and of course you can delete the OS2.INI file setting (or restore an OS2.INI file) when done.
