%SystemRoot% is supported, but it may have got damaged. Rerun wineprefixcreate on your existing .wine setup (just type it from the command line) and see if that helps. It should remerge the registry. Otherwise look in tools/wine.inf for the right key.
Thanks, Mike, that did help somewhat (not sure if it's enough yet, though).
Here's the output (which looked scary to me, but might tell you something):

/home/holly/.wine created successfully.
My concerns are mostly the inability to load a dll in the %SystemRoot%, and the failure to register Quartz.
But OK, it did work, or so it claimed.
Attempting then to (re)install QT 6.3 resulted in a lot of

errors (and I do mean a lot, there's like a hundred lines of this), yet the installer did run and appeared to work properly (I reinstalled QT over the directory I had previously used, chosen by default in the installer, so Wine did know it was there already).
Unfortunately, choosing the QuickTime Player menu entry (created by Wine in the SuSE main menu), or cding to the QT directory and attempting to run the QuickTime Player, now results in a Windows dialog informing me that QT failed to initialize (error -2093), and that I should make sure QT is properly installed on this computer. Septerra Core itself no longer recognizes the CD in the D:\ drive (so will not run, though I can probably hack that, since I did a full install, but that would mean messing with the Registry again... not a good idea).
OK, fine, it would seem to be time to blow away my Wine installation and start from scratch, which is not a problem (though it is a pain), but what I need to know is:
What is the proper way and format to add registry entries to the Wine registry to prevent this from happening again?
The needed entries for Septerra Core are provided in Windows format, naturally ( http://www.valkyriestudios.com/Septerra/fsa.htm ), and I "converted" them based on the Wine Registry entry structure, and saved the converted text as .reg files (for use in the future), and then ran wine regedit and imported the .reg files. Maybe wine regedit doesn't like me importing files with it, or maybe I converted the reg files wrong (though the keys looked right, and seemed to work, since the game ran properly except for the Quicktime movies). Or maybe something else was wrong that was only exposed when I ran regedit.
So how should I proceed when I reinstall the Wine applications (or rather, Septerra Core) to prevent breaking the Registry (again)?
Thanks very much for your help, Holly _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
