wine users - Mar 2011 - plugplay.exe missing

Hi, 

I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 with wine 1.2.2 on it and when i start regedit from
terminal i got :
wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\plugplay.exe"

i checked it out and the plugplay.exe file is in system32 folder ...

So what is going on...  [Rolling Eyes] 
10x in advance !

Best Regards

The plugplay.exe in system32 is a fake exe designed to fool apps that look for
it there.  Wine's regedit should not be looking for it at all. So either you
set a global override for it, or you installed something that loads at boot and
looks for it.

How can i find what is searching for it ?

What was the last thing you installed before it started doing this?

how to do that ?

This happens if you try to go back to wine 1.2 from wine 1.3.15 or so.

The nuclear option:
  rm -rf ~/.wine

The surgical option:
  figure out which file in ~/.wine/*.reg refers to plugplay.exe,
  and edit it to remove the reference.
