Google knows nothing about COMViewSrc.ZIP
web.archive.org atleast remembers it but doesn't have the zip itself :
http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.japheth.de:80/Download/COMViewSrc.ZIP
I know I have less than little chance to find it and still just out of curiosity :
Maybe someone has it hidden in debris of files on one of those old hard drives ?
Anyways, thank you for you time even if you only try to search for it !
P.S.: Now there'll be one forum search result for word "COMViewSrc.ZIP"
I had a search of the last archive of japheth's website that was uploaded as a torrent a while ago, unfortunately no source for that. Also done a search in my own hard drives where i stuff misc stuff, in case i had downloaded it a while ago - but no joy im afraid.
Thanks for quick reply , Fearless
I've already checked that site snapshot . There're 3 linker maps for COMView there .
Let's wait for ZEN , I suspect he has the copy of source code .
I searched for a long time and did not find it
GoneFishing, What do you need exactly in COMViewSrc, I'm here to help you
Hi mabdelouahab and thank you for offering your help
BTW yesterday I read the sources of your ComViewTest :t
I was impressed by VARIANT structure .
Currently I have no questions about COM, extracting info from typelibs etc.
Just trying to trace the path Japheth came in his COM technology quest :

If you explore Japheth's site, you'll find that you can download the source code for COMView (at least you used to be able to do so),...
I guess it has been removed at some point.

He actually wrote it in ASSMEBLY LANGUAGE. It's very impressive.
I wouldn't do that again - C is better for such tasks.
After all Japheth said that COM is
dinosaur technology
While waiting ...
In this thread we can acomplish some useful tasks in parallel
One interesting observation:
Read my first post :

Look at current time and search that file with google again
No results here
Try search with Yahoo and get the link to this thread ;)
Interesting, yes?
EDIT: Bing also reads this thread :biggrin:
EDIT: mabdelouahab, maybe we 'll have better chances using BAIDU ?
here is the compiled prog

Don't work with Windows 10
I'm happy to report that I just now had a pleasure seeing me is logged in when I was offline :biggrin:
And it was not a galucination and I'm not drunk (unfortunately :( )
EDIT: got it - I cleared browser's cache
ToutEnMasm, we are seeking the source code
Have fun :biggrin:
Ерфтлы, ОО
Me comprenez-vous?
ICH SUCHE COMViewSrc.ZIP !
:biggrin:
Sorry... my fault :redface:
I was so happy to have found something on an old notebook that I forgot to have a closer look...
It's okay, JOCHEN
We still have all of Japheth's sources . In fact, the whole file history is stored on web archive
But this strange ghost miracle phantom COMViewSrc.ZIP ...
it drives me crazy that I cannot find it yet ... I almost smell its presense on the web peacfully lying somewhere on FTP or SHARED network folder ...
Thank you for seeding from 49 9
I´m not quite sure if japeth ever released the source but, if he did, can you post it ? I can´t find it either
i don't know whether the files is being looked for.
Yes!
Thank you, six_L !!! How did you find it ?
It's big surprise . Now I know for sure there's nothing impossible !
Merry Christmas to all !
i'm pleasure to help you a bit.
happy new year to all.
Why I didn't find it in the past :(
I spent years of work and research for the COM, Though I finished work
Thank you six_L, and thank you GoneFishing for the Topic :t
@mabdelouahab :
I'm glad to be at your service
Hi all !
Hope you feel good after all that you had drunk on New Year's night .
Let's talk about "How to compile this treasure code"
I've tried to build it in MS VS 2008 using original COMView makefile .
Here's what I got:

My guess is that COMView v1.5.2 (2003) was built with previous version of MASM32 SDK .
What's your advice?
Maybe the old LPSTREAM etc definitions can be adapted to the new Masm32 versions?

Ok, but you have to know what have been done on ML build stage:
- DLGPROC and LPSTREAM were commented out (temporarily) in windows.inc from MASM32 includes
Changes in COMView makefile :
- replace ML with JWASM (with full path or add the path to environment)
- locate H2INC.EXE and add the path to it to environment
Open MS VS Command Prompt and navigate to COMViewSrc directory.
Execute command:

Stop.
You see that 3 out of 4 errors are caused by return macro (macros.inc):
;--- return: return a value in eax
ifndef return
return macro x
ifnb <x>
if OPATTR(x) eq 4 ;;constant?
if x
mov eax,x
else
xor eax,eax
endif
else
mov eax,x
endif
endif
ret
endm
endif ;return
The good advise,use Jwasm OK
good advise,del all sorts of old builds and use vc++ to build the project:
Here the result,seems to work with minor modifies (name conflicts,public symbol..)
Compiled Under Windows 10 with vc++ 2015,put it in the disk with the masm32 package
and use the original libs.
comview.exe is in the release directory
Thank you , ToutEnMasm
Still I have to understand and build it myself !
BTW I reached the LINK stage with ML and got lots of LNK2005 errors
for example : OnNotify@0 is already defined in foo.obj
[EDIT]: I'm on Win XP 32 (which cannot run 64 bit executable) and MS VS 2008 (which doesn't recognize new solution file format)
[EDIT2]: BINGO ! I've built the source code from your attachment in MS VS Command Prompt with COMView makefile using JWASM :
NMAKE /F COMView.mak
It would be great if you documented (if possible) those minor source code adjustments you've made
Below atached : 32 bit binary + PDB + listings = full debug info
document the change,take too much time.
for example :ptr = DWORD if error at compile and so on.
OK, I'll let the command line tools find the differences

COMViewSrc help
Hello,
here's the latest what I have found. It "should" assemble with both ML and jwasm (no guarantee!).
P.S.: the source needs the WinInc include files.
P.P.S: it has been compressed with 7z (to make it smaller than 512 kB). Original filename was "comviewsrc.7z"
_japheth and wayne, thank you :t
Happy New Year !
What an unexpected surprise!!!

Is someone try to compile the one given by _japheth ?
I have made an attempt on Windows 10 and he stay on the background.
I've successfully built it with MAKE.BAT using JWASM / JWLINK ( in MS VS Command Prompt )
Check that your WinInc path and path to EXCEPT.LIB match those ones in MAKE.BAT
P.S.: CHM help compiles just fine also .
My overall impression of COMView is that it's a SUPERHUMAN work
As I said,I have build it but ... comview stay in the background (Windows 10).
Can you post the one built on your system ?
ouf!
Made it with vc2015 (Under Windows 10)
_japheth Version from here (http://masm32.com/board/index.php?topic=4888.msg53484#msg53484)
Here it is v2.9.12 , built from _japheth's archive without modification
Win32 Release ( JWASM / JWLINK )
Hi Yves. Your version is not working on WinXP :(
Quote from: guga on January 05, 2016, 03:08:51 AM
Hi Yvesl. Your version is not working on WinXP :(
But it works on Win7-64 :t
Great, but, why XP says that "it is not a valid win32 application" ? It was written in 32 bits. I can reassemble it with RosAsm and it runs (Since RosAsm can´t disasm 64 bits yet., i don´t understand why XP don´t wants to open it)
I think it's because of differences in MajorOperatingSystemVersion fields of IMAGE_OPTIONAL_HEADER structure (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms680339%28v=vs.85%29.aspx) .
On the attached screenshots I compared Yves' executable (Windows 10) and mine (Windows XP)
[EDIT]: Seems that MajorOperatingSystemVersion doesn't matter .
MajorSubsystemVersion should be 4 for Windows XP !!! Change this value in Hex editor and run the program :t
Indeed ! Also, other differences are in DllCharacteristics, MajorSubsystemVersion, MajorOperatingSystemVersion
I manually changed the dll characteristicis and those other members
The DllCharacteristics member of the structure are related to equates for the value on the image you posted are:
IMAGE_DLLCHARACTERISTICS_TERMINAL_SERVER_AWARE
IMAGE_DLLCHARACTERISTICS_NX_COMPAT
IMAGE_DLLCHARACTERISTICS_DYNAMIC_BASE
On XP executables, this flag is normally set to 0. So, i manually set it to 0
And on MajorSubsystemVersion and MajorOperatingSystemVersion i changed from 6 to 4
After those changes, the app runned.
Hi GUGA ,
Is that "fixed" executable fully functional for you ?
Mine is not :
- Dialog "About" has no text
- In CSLID tab double-clicking the line brings up an empty "Edit Registry" dialog.
That's all I've noticed for now.
Mine is also having problems (Same as yours). When double clicking on the CLSID list of register a dialogbos shows up, but it is in blank. About dialog, the same as you, and some data on the registry listing have weird chars
(http://i64.tinypic.com/xav4uu.jpg)
(http://i64.tinypic.com/357qeqr.jpg)
Thanks, GUGA
Now the question is - How does it run on Windows 7 and above ?
:t
I don´t know. Didn´t had time to analyze his app. What is the problem on Windows7 ? The same as here on XP ? Or simply Windows7 and above refuses to run the app ?
Win10
The win10 version (compiled with vc++2015) had just a problem (in Windows 10) when the internet explorer is open.
The internet explorer must be closed to view the main dialog .
I search a soluce.
