I'm trying to set wine up in XP Sp2 box & found out it can't use my Windows registry while it's in %SystemRoot%\system32\config & homedir as should be. W/o it's difficult to make apps run as they can't find neither their reg. info nor OLE-related stiff. Maybe there was some format changes for .reg wine don't know. Anyway, can anybody help with it? The idea of exporting the whole reg to wine's internal one makes no good 'cause file parsing will take quite long period of time -------------- Regards, Mirya

Is that really a good idea? My suggestion would be to not use the XP filesystem directly. Create a "fake" Windows partition, and reinstall the apps you want. I don't really see that as a particularly difficult or time consuming task.> The idea of exporting the whole reg to wine's internal one makes no good > 'cause file parsing will take quite long period of time >??? Most of us (at least I think it is most of us) do not use a real Windows partition with Wine. I certainly have not done so for years, and I don't notice any problems with file parsing. There are plenty of other places in Wine that need optimization long before registry file parsing, at least IMO.

Is that really a good idea?No, I'm on FreeBSD5.2.1, no NTFS-writable driver for it, but I did export the alive XP SP2 installation to UFS2/FFS. Cold it be that the problem is system case-sensitively (%SystemRoot%/system32/config/* are all low-case)? Permissions are OK, I've even tried it for root. I'll try some simple debugging next week to find the truth...> ??? Most of us (at least I think it is most of us) do not use a real > Windows partition with Wine.
