Interesting idea, I hadn't thought about ReactOS as a possible source of FOSS programs for windows - but why not? We run Gnu user land various places after all.
Curious about why it crashes. Did you build from source?
- andai 4y agoNo, I just copy pasted it from a ReactOS install. Binary compatibility is their goal (WinDbg thinks it's debugging Windows Server 2003, so they did a good job!), but last I heard they have to do some funky stuff in some places to be able to make use of WINE. Or it could be because of the compatibility: XP's explorer doesn't run on 10, so we shouldn't expect its clone to run either! But I had to try :) Still, considering it's open source and the closest thing what I do want, starting with this and stripping out the taskbar might get me a good result. Same with MSPaint: just spent several days trying to get the leaked XP MSPaint to compile, to no avail. Looks like I'd have better luck starting with ReactOS's paint clone and modifying it so it's feature complete and has the original icons :)
