Yes, that's how I found out about the /E option (actually, I got the usage info when I gave no options or arguments at all). But this was no use for telling me what the stupid thing was supposed to do when it worked (as I said, it never gave any failure message whilst it wasn't creating the registry file). > Of course, see in the usage, regedit /e eXPORTS the current > registry in a text file. > Copy-Paste from the source : > "Switches:\n" > " /E - exports contents of the specified registry key to the > specified\n" > " file. Exports the whole registry if no key is specified. That's lovely. It doesn't really matter to me now I've got that all done, but the fact remains: The instructions for setting up the registry make no mention of using the /E flag, even though that's what it took for me to get it to work. The usage info also says that without any switches, it will add the contents of the specified registry file, like the instructions all say. And this does not work, and the /E option doesn't work the same way, and so on and so on. It doesn't matter to *me* any more, but that situation is still stupid. > reg.dat isnt part of the windows registry anymore.

Could it be that Wine's libraries check it to see if you're using Win 3.1 and have installed its registry? BTW, is it possible for debug messages to tell me whether some file, registry key, etc is being requested is being requested by Wine itself (I've seen obvious cases of this so far) or by the Windows program being run? And can anybody tell me yet where the info about what programs have been installed would be stored/found? If in the registry, then which registry file and which part of the registry tree?
