Silverlight under ReactOS

05-21-2009 7:39 PM |

Hello,

I have installed ReactOS on my virtual machine and tried to install Silverlight under this OS.

ReactOS is a computer operating system intended to be binary compatible with application software and device drivers made for Microsoft Windows NT versions 5.x and up (Windows 2000 and its successors). It is claimed to be composed entirely of free software, by means of a complete clean room reverse engineering process, with an extensive on-going audit, being undertaken to protect against claims made by those outside the project.

So let's watch my screen =)

And when installtion application has been started, My ReactOS has been suspended =)

I guess ReactOS isn't 100% compatible with Windows. Not sure there's anything more we can say about that. Maybe let the ReactOS folks know?

First thing you should do, is to enable debug output via virtual COM1 port. You also should use a debug build of ReactOS, not release. Then you should provide bug report to our Bugzilla (opening a new entry or using one, if already opened for Silverlight). Please attach debug logs as well as all information you can provide: ReactOS version/revision, VM version etc. I suspect a crash, which in ROS debug version would throw you into Kernel Debugger mode. This is why enabling debug output is so vital. If you have any other issues with ReactOS, asking on our forum will get you an answer faster:>

I guess ReactOS isn't 100% compatible with Windows.

As I understand, ReactOS uses the same interface as WinAPI.

But there aren't such things as MFC and etc

And that's why some programs can't run under ReactOS.

I know of Foxit PDF viewer, that requires mfc42.dll... Afaik, Foxit v.2.0 works fine under ReactOS when Windows mfc42.dll is supplied.

Dear Haos,

I also take part in ReactOS community forum.

And in the one topic:

http://www.reactos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=6966

I have asked about ReactOS and developing for ReactOS.

And of the official developers of ReactOS - `hto` by nickname said:

There is no MFC in ReactOS. One can use proprietary MFC from Microsoft, but it cannot be included into ReactOS.

That's about MFC.

Indeed, MFC is a redistributable library, so there is no problem in getting it and adding to your ros install. At least in EU.
