    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    The #7955 bug report is over the S-Hoai Windows client displaying an application exception when clicking the “File” or “Projects” menu.

    S-Hoai is a Windows application used in Germany by architects and building engineers/contractors for managing estimates and billing according to German laws.

    This S-Hoai “Honorarordnung für Architekten und Ingenieure” software on at least older versions has been borked running under Wine with little activity in the bug report over the years.

    But now in Wine Staging 9.11 is an OLEDB32 patch where mode can have multiple values as a string.

    That will hopefully take care of the issue for S-Hoai and any other similar Windows software.

    Separately, Wine Staging 9.11 carries an ODBCCP32 patch to correct the look-up of DSN before writing to registry.

          I think they are way under confident and burnt out. The projects been going for decades and all the developers see is more work to do. It is a toxic place. On the one side you have people demanding things and one the other side you have the original people who started it who are older now and lack drive.

          Last time I used it it was pretty stable and worked well. However I was repeatedly told it is in Alpha and that I would run into serious issues eventually. I never did run into anything serious and it never corrupted it self like it used to. I was very impressed but also saddened by how the developers are not confident in there own work.

          My personal belief is that React OS could be somehow combined with Wine and Samba to create a Windows in a box that could run under other operating systems. You could run Windows specific software in this environment but then have shared resources with the guest and guest side windowing. There are still a few pieces of software that require Windows and it would nice to have the kernel portion combined with Wine. You could have a small KVM machine with PCIe passthough or a kernel module that acts as a wrapper for complex Windows drivers.

      Does ReactOS already support the newest office and Photoshop out of the box!?

      MS Office 2021 is garbage but at least 2016 and O365 Home (32-bit) are both silver. The linked Photoshop CC 2023 is also silver. That already seems like an impressive feat by the wine team.
