It assumed + C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\Etc. This is a poor assumption to make. In fact, + the location of the HOSTS file can be changed via a registry setting. + + There is a key called DatabasePath which specifies the path to the HOSTS + file: + http://www.microsoft.com/technet/itsolutions/network/deploy/depovg/tcpip2k.mspx + + The patch will make c-ares correctly consult the registry for the location + of this file. + * August 29 - Gisle Vanem fixed the MSVC build files. |
