wine users - Oct 2008 - Is there any other way for accessing .hive files?

is there any possibility for converting .hive files .reg files or .txt files so
that wine can handle it?

Only windows can read it's own binary registry files.

Not really. Regedit just calls advapi (or ntdll) to load registry. You can try
it to make sure but I doubt it will work on Wine.

What you are trying to do can seriously mess up your .wine files.

The first question is why are you trying to export the registry from
Vista and import it into Wine?  Is there an application that you cannot
install directly into Wine for some reason?

Thanks for ur answers.
I have a windows application. I want to install it in wine.
That application contains .hive files.
wine registry is failing to load those files.
