PROTEL 99SE LIBRARIES INSTALL
PROTEL 99SE LIBRARIES PATCH

Quote (Copy of GuntherVB's post) Ok, I just spent a long day debugging Protel 99 SE (Service Pack 6) in OllyDbg to solve the problem of not being able to load the library files in Windows 7 ('File not recognized'). The library dialog tries to concatenate the filename and path of the selected library file to obtain a full path to the library file that you want to add. But, a call to the windows function SHGetPathFromIDListA corrupts the memory where the filename is stored (it puts a zero where the string starts, which, in the null-terminated string world, means that the string is now suddenly empty). The dialog gets confused and doesn't succeed in opening the file. The call to SHGetPathFromIDListA does not do anything noteworthy, so I replaced all instructions related to that call with NOP instructions.
