The #7955 bug report is over the S-Hoai Windows client displaying an application exception when clicking the "File" or "Projects" menu.
S-Hoai is a Windows application used in Germany by architects and building engineers/contractors for managing estimates and billing according to German laws.
This S-Hoai "Honorarordnung für Architekten und Ingenieure" software on at least older versions has been borked running under Wine with little activity in the bug report over the years.
But now in Wine Staging 9.11 is an OLEDB32 patch where mode can have multiple values as a string.
That will hopefully take care of the issue for S-Hoai and any other similar Windows software.
Separately, Wine Staging 9.11 carries an ODBCCP32 patch to correct the look-up of DSN before writing to registry.

You know that ReactOS development has been speeding up lately don't you? Either way it's kinda of stuck in NT5 because they threw out the most competent people of the project.
However... it still runs a ton of stuff better than Wine :)
Does ReactOS already support the newest office and Photoshop out of the box!?
MS Office 2021 is garbage but at least 2016 and O365 Home (32-bit) are both silver. The linked Photoshop CC 2023 is also silver. That already seems like an impressive feat by the wine team.
Yeah, it seems impressive until you actually try to use it and find out that their "silver" is not even close to something you can work with.
Adobe products even when they say Silver you'll get artifacts when moving objects, resizing the window sometimes ends up on a full screen black square and whatnot.
Office 2016 kind of works, poor rendering but works, the thing is that if I only needed Office 2016 features I would survive mostly fine with LibreOffice. I indeed need features from 2019 that wont run properly.
