wine users - May 2008 - Registry override?

I first installed kchmviewer.

I then created the file run_prog:
#!/bin/sh
$1 "`wine winepath -u "$2"`"

I tested by running from a terminal
run_prog kchmviewer c:\MyChmFile.chm
This worked fine
 
I edited the registry entry for chm.file to
/usr/bin/run_prog kchmviewer %1

A windows program using ShellExecute with "open" on c:\MyChmFile.chm
appears to still call HH.EXE

Is it possible to override wine using HH.EXE?

Last tested on clean install of rc2

You need to associate that file extension properly - see [HKEY_CLASSES] registry
hive. It works the same as on windows.

vitamin,
I assume you mean HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT?

I thought I did.

I have: 
.chm  Default REG_SZ chm.file

And what do you have under chm.file?

Code:
wine regedit /e - "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\chm.file"
