Help needed installing GinaStub example.

G

gregory_may

I am dying trying to get the GinaStub example to work at:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...en-us/vcsample98/html/vcsmpginastubsample.asp

Any help is greatly appreciated and much thanks given in advance. I am very
new to the Visual C++ environment, so I am hoping is something very silly
and easy to fix.



Here is what I have done:

1) Down load Visual Studio 6 examples from this url onto my WINDOWS XP
workstation:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...60-6566-408F-9F11-EA2C80B8CAA0&displaylang=en

2) Unpacked the GinaStub from the help file.

3) Double clicked on the ginastub.dsp (Visual Studio 6 Project)

Visual Studio 2003 complains its an older visual studio and then asks me
to convert it to 2003

I hit "Yes"

4) Right Click on the solution and hit - "Build"

5) (A prompt asks me to save ginastub.sln) - I take the default and hit
"Save"

6) The following output is generated (looks good to me.):

ginastub - 0 error(s), 1 warning(s)



---------------------- Done ----------------------

Build: 1 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 skipped

7) I then copy over the newly created ginastub.dll to a WINDOWS 2000 box
into the C:\WINNT\System32 directory

(According to: http://www.codeguru.com/mfc/comments/2574.shtml )

8) Add a registry entry (below) for GinaDll that points to "newgina.dll"

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

9) Reboot!

10) I get a message that says "The Logon User Interface DLL newgina.dll
failed to load." - Click Reboot.

AHHHH... Time to fix things .........

11) Copy the original MSGINA.DLL to "newgina.dll" & reboot (Luckily my test
system has a dual boot option).

12) System now works as before (But still using the old gina.)



Does anyone know what I missed? Any ideas if its either the DLL or the
Install on my Win2k box?

Hye,
I have read your message.. I am a novice in NT services field but a VC
programmer from last two years..

So, I want to know what is this GINA.. I have opened the MSDN website
but could not download all samples because of my broken connection...

I want to know what is GINA.. If we want to extend functionality of GINA
then how can we do that!! I think the sample does the same.. Can you please
send me that GINA sample only (through attachment on my e-mail address -
(e-mail address removed))..

I want to step up in Windows NT services now.. Thank you!!

Do I need to use regsvr32 on the new MyGinaDLL?

For my purpouse GINA handles logon/logoff and the Ctrl-Alt-Del sign on
sequence. I need to modify this. If you really want to mess around with
this, I can send you the code from the link below.

Its not a service though. Its more of a hook (I think 14 functions in the
GINA DLL) that can be modified to alter the way Logon/Logoff works.

Hi gregory_may,

Thanks for you posting in the group!

I am regret that the GinaStub sample project(on MSDN) is somehow not a
valid DLL application, it even doesn't have an entrypoint function(DllMain)
and probably something wrong with its build setting.

I suggest you can try another Gina.dll example on the WWW.CodeProject.com:
http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/GINA_SPY.asp?target=gina
