Description Andy Korvemaker 2005-01-09 21:10:59 UTC 
Gnumeric does not run on Win95. It crashes on startup.

Two error windows pop up. The top one is:
  [C:\Gnumeric\bin\gnumeric.exe]
  C:\Gnumeric\bin\gnumeric.exe
  A device attached to the system is not functioning.
    [OK]
The lower window is:
  [Error Starting Program]
  The LIBGTK-WIN32-2.0-0.DLL file is
  linked to missing export KERNEL32.DLL:GetFileAttributesExA.
    [OK]

When I installed Gnumeric I installed it "for all users" (even though this is a 
single-user Win95 system). I doubt that effects this.

I'm running Gnumeric 1.4.1-rc5. This version of Win95 has IE 5.0 installed.

I'm leaving this bug as severity/priority: normal because I doubt many people 
are using Win95. That said, with AbiWord working on Win95 it would be nice if 
Gnumeric did too. :-)

Not gnumeric specific.  Maybe something new in gtk+ land.
Comment 2 Tor Lillqvist 2005-01-09 23:00:52 UTC 
Win95 is dead. A patch to bypass this problem would be accepted. No guarantee
that there aren't other things, more hard to fix, that would pop up after fixing
the call to GetFileAttributesExA(), though.
