As far as I know, wine will use the registry files in ~/.wine if the following entry in your wine config is set (which should always be set): "LoadHomeRegistryFiles" = "Y" if you want to load your registry in the win dir as well, use: "LoadWindowsRegistryFiles" = "Y" in the registry section. maybe you can run your program (or try to run ;-) with: WINEDEBUG=+loaddll,+dll wine yourprg.exe and mail the output. _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
