Dokan failed with error -7 for dokany 0.8.0 and -5 for 0.7.4

[kitsmag]

https://github.com/dokan-dev/dokany 's release 0.8.0 makes some severe changes, which cause fs.expose.dokan.mount to yield error -7, which means

#define DOKAN_VERSION_ERROR -7 /* Requested an incompatible version */

👍

...and as I mentioned in dokan-dev/dokany#115

0.7.4 also yields a -5 (DOKAN_MOUNT_ERROR) for a simple example such as

from fs.osfs import OSFS
from fs.expose import dokan
fs = OSFS('.')
mp = dokan.mount(fs, 'Q')

[Liryna]

PyFilesystem has to be updated to work with dokany 0.8.0

About 0.7.4, I have no idea, it should work if it was working with dokan 0.6.0

Ok, I started #241 for this, currently it's messed up and e.g.

from fs.expose import dokan
from fs.osfs import OSFS
osfs = OSFS('.')
#dm = dokan.mount(osfs, 'Q:\\', flags=dokan.DOKAN_OPTION_DEBUG)
dm = dokan.mount(osfs, 'Q:\\', flags = 0x1234)

yields

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "fs\expose\dokan\__init__.py", line 1018, in _do_mount
    mount(fs,drive,**opts)

    res = libdokan.DokanMain(ctypes.byref(opts),ctypes.byref(opstruct))
WindowsError: exception: access violation reading 0x0000123400000000

  File "C:\Users\kit\Documents\src\pyfilesystem\fs\expose\dokan\__init__.py", line 890, in check_alive
    raise OSError("dokan mount process exited prematurely")
OSError: dokan mount process exited prematurely

Note how the flag (0x1234) seems to be misinterpreted as a pointer...

Concerning 0.7.4, maybe 0.8.0 didn't cleanly uninstall, I haven't bothered too much trying 0.6.0 etc

To make different versions easier to test, you could try testing inside a VM, using VM images from https://dev.windows.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/vms/

I advise this issue be closed. @Liryna is already working on Dokan support #256 and old verions should be of no concern. We should consolidate.

Consolidation sounds good to me. And it's good to see that Dokan itself is being actively maintained again, removing the need for supporting old (ancient) versions.
