I did that change and about the same result but different error
Node 1!ERROR 2 (No such file or directory) (WinError 2) in xtrn.cpp
line 733 (sbbs_t::external) executing "C:\ReactOS\system32.cmd /C c:\sbbs\xtrrn\lord\START.BAT 1 NORIP" access=1 (useron=Nelgin)
Is system32.cmd a valid executable file?
Sorry, typo on my part (no copy & paste betwen ReactOS & Winderz yet)
C:\ReactOS\system32\cmd.exe
and yes, it exists and works from the command line.

Hi all,
I'm just curious if anyone has tried running Synchronet on RactOS? ReactOS has
been in alpha for years, but they say it can run many Windows programs these >days.

In answer to your question, yes. It does. I had to install the msvcr100.dll file as per the instructions, downloaded and installed no problem. Was able to telnet right in. I actually updated VirtualBox, installed ReactOS, pulled up the sbbs install instructions, downloaded
the msvcr100.dll installer and sbbs installer, installed both and ran
them between my last post and this one.

Interesting.. I might give it a try as well. I'm curious if all the usual DOS doors & things work well with it.

DOS Doors might be tricky. I had the same question on my mind about a year ago.

I've not tried any doors but if you want to point me to one or two to
try and then I can give it a go and see.
That's a bummer.. I'm somewhat surprised that ReactOS is still in an alpha >stage. I first heard about ReactOS about 10 years ago (or more). It seems >it's still not feature-complete, and its development has been going very >slowly.

Well, I had a tinker with it this evening/morning and while LoRD runs
in standalone mode ok, it locks SBBS and my terminal solid when I try
and run via a fossil driver. I wasn't sure which to use so I went with netfoss to start with to see where that went. I'm guessing this could
be the "64 bit os" issue. The fact it runs standalone though, gives me
a bit of hope. I just need the right fossil I guess.
LoRD runs standalone but I'm having problems getting it to run with
the BBS. I expect I'm going to have fossil driver issues. I thought
the Winderz version had a built in fossil driver but I could be
mistaken.

Synchronet comes with its own FOSSIL driver (sbbsexec.dll). You don't need to >"install" it separately. It should be in your Windows/System32 directory.
It sounds like you're using a 64-bit ReactOS? With Microsoft Windows, the >64-bit versions of Windows can't run DOS apps because 64-bit Windows doesn't >have the NTVDM which emulates 16-bit DOS. I'm not sure if ReactOS is >different.. Normally I'd try to run it in a 32-bit Windows (or ReactOS).

Does it look there specifically? ReactOS doesn't have a c:\Windows directory. I can't tell if the dll is getting loaded or not.

NTVDM was first released in ReactOS 0.3.17 as a test feature.
There's a lot of examples of DOS games now running in the latest 0.4.6
such as Age of Empires and Command & Conquer.
As I said, it runs standalone. I'm having problems getting sbbs to
even find some sort of file when using the internal fossil driver.
I get
Node 1 !ERROR 2 (No such file or directory) (WinError 2) in xtrn.cpp
line 733 (sbbs_t::external) executing "c:\sbbs\xtrn\lord\START.BAT 1
NORIP" access=0 (useron=Nelgin)
From a command prompt I can run c:\sbbs\xtrn\lord\START.BAT with no problems.
door.sys and DOSXTRN.ENV files are created in my node directory and
the path looks right.
in scfg I have
Name: Legend of the Red Dragon
Internal Code: LORD
Start-up Directory: ../xtrn/lord
Command Line: START.BAT %# NORIP
Multiple Concurrent Users: Yes
BBS Drop File Type GAP DOOR.SYS
Use Real Names: No
Lowecase Filename: No
Everything else set to No or blank
open to suggestions.
You might need to enable "Use Shell To Execute" since you're running a .BAT >file.

Is system32.cmd a valid executable file?
I haven't tried setting up a BBS on ReactOS, so I'm not sure (I was curious how
well it would work). I think you said you had tried NetFoss already?
