wine users - Dec 2008 - Hive In Wine

   In windows we have a concept of "hive" in the registry. I'm
trying to load the hive to wine registry, but wine is not able to recognizing
the format of hive. Please help me out.

I am not sure what hive you are trying to load as this probably will
mess up your ~/.wine but you can export registry hives in windows in
NT4 format which is text. I believe this is the same format wine uses
in its registry files.

Wine does not support native binary registry format. In other words - Wine
can't do what you want.

Vitamin, you are absolutely correct.  However, I think at Karthy wants to load
the ENTIRE hive, which will break Wine absolutely.

Karthy: Give use more details on what you are trying to do and why you are
attempting it.  It appears that you are attempting to get something to work and
your progress and attempts appear to be 'most interesting'.

Then he needs to be much more specific. "Load hive" is a standard
function in native regedit since win9x. Of course regedit doesn't load hive
itself - it calls advapi/ntdll for that.
