Check out all the *.reg files there. The Wine dlls are in the lib directory (/usr/local/lib by default) and there is no mentioning of the dlls in the fake Windows directories. If you want to move registry between Windows and Wine, use Windows and Wine regedit applications to import/export necessary parts of the registry. programs/regapi Wine tool can help you with finding out what registry changes are done by programs installation. See README file in programs/regapi directory. > I'm asking because I can't get any > installshield programs > to run and installshield always seem to require a > registry to work. Wine has by default a pretty good configuration. Recent installshield installer are known to use some not implemented yet Windows API calls. What exactly problems do you have? Probably it has nothing to do with registry. Andriy Boston, MA, USA __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
